Chapter 340: Annihilation War (Silver Update 7/10)

Lieutenant Linden had been listening intently to the radio of friendly forces after Ant's plane flew overhead.

Then he heard reports of a motorized reconnaissance battalion approaching him.

He took off his earphones directly and looked at the driver and electromechanical personnel who were doing repair work. The latter happened to be wiping his sweat, looked up, and met his eyes.

"What's wrong?" The driver was a veteran. He seemed to understand the situation just by looking at Lieutenant Linden's expression, but he still asked.

Lieutenant Linden: "The enemy counterattack group is rushing towards Colonel Busey's battle group, and we have no support for the time being."

The pilot was speechless: "That's right. But it's strange, why didn't the enemy attack us? Isn't it easier to kill our little vanguard than to destroy Colonel Busey's battle group?"

Lieutenant Linden shrugged: "How should I know?"

At this time, the alert infantry suddenly shouted: "Unconfirmed armored vehicles appear in the northeast!"

Lieutenant Linden immediately looked to the northeast, and sure enough he saw an armored vehicle advancing in the wheat field. Just looking at the height of the vehicle - it felt like an assault gun?
At this time, the sentry on guard on the other side also shouted: "There are also those in the southeast!"

Surrounded on three sides - well, considering the location of the reinforcements, this enemy force has been surrounded on four sides - the total strength of the surrounded enemy forces is about three hundred, including four new heavy tanks and eight Panzer III tanks. , four Panzer IVs, twenty half-tracks, and possibly a company of infantry.

The remaining tanks probably had their tracks damaged by the air force, so they stopped in place and turned their guns.

Wang Zhong repeatedly called these infantry platoons to ensure that he could clearly see the enemy's movements.

High school students are really precious. It is too luxurious to have all high school naval infantrymen. They must be condemned, Navy Red Deer - Army General Rokossov thought so.

However, the radios currently assigned to the platoons are not effective for the time being, because the artillery of the division and army has not kept up.

The enemy clearly discovered the vortex, and the tank began to turn its muzzle.

The fifteen vortex vehicles were divided into three groups and approached the small enemy force lying on the prairie from three sides.

The walkie-talkie currently attached to the infantry platoon in front of the vortex can only be used as an "eye position" for Wang Zhong, and it is still an eye position without highlighting.

----

Wang Zhong connected the radios of the five Eddy vehicles approaching from the front: "Close to 1500 meters and fire. The distance is controlled by your command."

At this time, Wang Zhong had no time to care about the Willis Jeep Brigade, which was chasing the enemy's armored reconnaissance force. His "Tiger Fighting" troops have already engaged the enemy.

A total of one company of infantry advanced with the vortex, with one platoon deployed in each of the three directions.

"It's on the front too! We're surrounded on three sides!"

If it could be highlighted, Wang Zhong would be able to determine how many enemies are surrounded by just looking at the number of the unit they belong to. Unfortunately, highlighting is a "welfare" that only exists within the range that Wang Zhong can see with his naked eyes. The eyes of the troops do not have this special effect. .

Wang Zhong got it right in one step, and assigned walkie-talkies to the platoon level according to the establishment of the US military in the Vietnam War. In order to make full use of the role of walkie-talkies, he also specially selected two high school graduates to learn radio technology, master general troubleshooting skills of walkie-talkies, and simple coordinate measurement.

Wang Zhong allocated walkie-talkies to the platoon level. On Earth, this was a configuration only available to the US military during the Vietnam War. As the US military had the most radios in World War II, walkie-talkies were allocated to the company level.

"Yes!"

The infantry troops carried by the vortex had already dismounted and formed a skirmish line in front of the vortex.

The vortex on the front is less than 2,400 meters away from the enemy. The vortices outflanking the north and south are still maneuvering and are farther away.

The bodies of several vehicles on No. 4 and No. 3 followed and turned together, and they were divided into three attack groups visible to the naked eye.

So Wang Zhong could only try his best to nod. Not to mention, he felt like watching ants move.

Soon enough, the Panzer VI tank with tactical number 218 opened fire.

The 88mm gun roared, and Wang Zhong could clearly see the smoke and dust raised by the storm from the muzzle from a bird's eye view!
Wang Zhong clearly saw the flight path of the cannonball. He hit the "back" of the vortex numbered 461 with lightning speed. As a result, because the incident angle was too small, he was suddenly bounced away.

"Wait a minute, isn't the enemy trying to use a lob to attack the top?" Wang Zhong frowned. If this is the case, it means that the Proson gunner took it for granted.

Battleships can shoot horizontally from the horizontal deck because the battle distance is far, which can easily be more than ten or twenty kilometers.

Now you are two kilometers away from me!

After the enemy No. 218 opened fire, No. 220 also opened fire immediately. This time the shell accurately hit the gun mantlet of the No. 458 Vortex Tank Destroyer.

Wang Zhong snorted disdainfully, at this distance, the 88-meter gun wants to penetrate the vortex mantlet? Really thinking too much.

However, the huge impact of the direct hit caused Car No. 458 to temporarily slow down and gradually fall behind. The members in the car were probably stunned.

This is quite common. High-power shells hitting the armor may cause the members in the vehicle to faint temporarily even if they don't penetrate.

The duration of fainting may be only three to five seconds.

Sure enough, car No. 458 began to speed up again and caught up with the advancing friendly forces.

The enemy began to fire one after another.

But whether it is the 43-fold 75mm gun (the main gun of the long-barreled No. 88) or the short (the main gun of the new heavy tank), it seems that there is nothing to do with the frontal armor of the vortex. The scene of five Eddy vehicles advancing against enemy artillery fire reminded Wang Zhong of the video he saw before crossing over of Maozi's Maggot tanks rampaging across enemy positions.

Suddenly, Vortex No. 460 stopped!
Wang Zhong was shocked, thinking that the enemy had caused the first wave of casualties before our troops opened fire. However, upon closer inspection, he found that the tracks were interrupted.

The assault gun was useless when its tracks were broken. Perhaps because of this, the hatch cover of No. 460 was opened. The commander threw a few smoke poppers out, and then climbed out of the car under the cover of smoke.

The enemy fired for two minutes. No. 458 Eddy suddenly stopped, turned its body to take aim, and then fired the first shot at lightning speed.

The impact of the muzzle blast of the 100mm gun is more spectacular than that of the 88mm gun and the 75mm gun.

The moment the gun was fired, the destroyer's field of vision was completely covered with smoke and dust blown up by the muzzle blast - the Vortex destroyer was relatively short and was directly blocked.

Wang Zhong immediately turned towards the enemy, and sure enough he saw a No. 4 tank bursting into flames. Members were climbing out of the vehicle. Some of them were still on fire and had to roll on the grass to put out the fire.

"Good job." Wang Zhong couldn't help shouting. After shouting, he realized that he couldn't see the battlefield directly.

So he pretended that the tiger team had reported the same thing as him.

The vortex in front of them all opened fire except for the unlucky one whose track was broken.

No. 100 and No. will definitely be doomed as long as they are hit by guns. Even if there is no ammunition depot to explode, a fire will ignite until it is completely destroyed.

However, several new heavy tanks are still holding strong.

Wang Zhong looked at the distance and found that the commander of the frontal vortex was actually too impatient and stopped shooting too early. As a result, he was still 1700 to 1800 meters away from the new heavy tank when he fired.

Damn it if you can penetrate this distance.

Wang Zhong picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to give the order when he remembered that this micro-management looked like a certain bald man?

He hesitated when Chief of Staff Alexander, who was leading the frontal attack team, said: "General, it seems that our 100-gun can't penetrate these new Prossen weapons!"

Wang Zhong: "Why panic! The distance must be too far. Go forward to 1500 meters and test again!"

Regardless of just advancing 300 meters, the damage effect will make a qualitative leap.

The order was transmitted via radio waves, and Wang Zhong was satisfied to see that the destroyers that had stopped in front maintained a simple "horizontal formation" and continued to move forward - except for the unlucky guy whose track was broken.

On the way forward, another destroyer stopped. Wang Zhong quickly took a closer look and found that the track was interrupted again.

But this obviously failed to shake the determination of the frontal unit to attack.

At this time, the destroyers that were encircling and outflanking on both sides of the north and south also turned around and rushed towards the small group of surrounded Prossen troops.

The vortex tank destroyer deployed in front of the enemy stopped only 1400 meters away from the enemy.

They opened fire again.

Wang Zhong saw a flash of light hitting the front armor of the new heavy tank No. 220, and seemed to hit the driver's observation window.

The next moment, the hatch of the 220 car opened, and the members crawled out with urine on their butts, and then black smoke came out from the rear of the car.

The open flame was the last one to appear. Looking at the burning No. 6 tank, Wang Zhong felt distressed and thought to himself, what did you guys do to the Proscenians? Put out the fire too! This is the equipment I want to use!
Car No. 217 was the second one to be hit. It was rotating the turret, but the shell flew over and caused a large circle of sparks to fly near the turret seat ring.

The turret stopped the next moment.

All the Proson tank soldiers jumped out of the vehicle. Wang Zhong nodded. Good guy, none of the five of them were even injured.

Wang Zhong began to reflect on whether he had installed less explosives in the shells and hit the tank without killing the members inside.

While he was thinking about these things, he watched the Vortex battle the Tiger tank.

The other No. 3 and Long-Guan No. 4 have all been opened, and some have been burned to black charcoal.

There are still two No. 6 heavy tanks surviving, and they are fighting stubbornly.

At this time, the infantry had quietly reached the enemy.

The thread-cutting machine opened fire, and the enemy infantry was also paying attention to the tank battle. They did not expect to be attacked, let alone an assault with a silent automatic rifle.

Wang Zhong watched as Sergeant Ant fired with a thread-cutting machine, killing about a squad of people. As a result, the other enemies were all focused on the armor-and-bomb confrontation between the two new armored vehicles, and they didn't realize that he had lost one squad. .

When the thread-cutting machines in the infantry's hands had knocked down nearly eighty people, Proson finally realized that he was being raided, and the officers and non-commissioned officers began to organize the battle.

Although the Ant infantry lost the advantage of surprise attack, the battle just now allowed them to occupy a favorable position. The fire net formed by the thread cutter quickly brought down the enemy's accompanying infantry.

The armored soldiers who got out of the vehicle noticed this and tried to contact the new heavy tanks that were fiercely shooting, but were stopped by the Ant infantry.

By the time the third Tiger was blown up, the Ant infantry had temporarily taken control of the battlefield and were about to regard the last new tank as a trophy for the infantry.

Wang Zhong shouted: "Don't! Don't throw three flasks at the last new tank! I'll persuade them to surrender!"
