The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

With such a large chassis and solid structure, and the ability to move on land, players will definitely equip it with large-caliber artillery as much as possible. Therefore, after many tests, the final version of Pangu became a 305mm twin-mounted main gun.

Except for railway guns and Germany's Karl and Gustav, artillery of this caliber is not the standard for the army. The warships grew tracks and climbed onto the land, and then began to output madly by bullying the weak.

The huge size itself is the most terrifying weapon, and this is land, not ocean. A weight of one thousand tons can at most reach the edge of a destroyer in the navy, but on land, it is a terrifying strategic weapon that has no power to threaten it except for the heavy bombs of the Air Force.

"Secure air superiority, let Pangu advance, everyone follow!"

The Imperial Covenant sits in the Pangu super-heavy tank and commands the entire army. This scene already has a bit of the feel of a Japanese animation.

It is worth mentioning that during the period of rapid development of the animation industry in various countries after the war, a Japanese cartoonist did draw the Pangu tank, a crazy land war machine, into his comics, and his work was called "Strike Witches".

Well, for the Japanese in this world, the combat effectiveness of the volunteer army can no longer be measured by common sense, and can only be compared with enemies of the alien level.

Field Marshal Rommel did not know this, but if he had known, he would have approved.

According to the marshal's postwar memoirs, "A Victory Doomed to Never Be Gained":

"That was simply not something that human power could contend with. Perhaps humans with nuclear weapons today could, but in the Sinai Peninsula at that time, the Pangu super-heavy tank was invincible."

When Pangu appears, who can compete with him?

Pangu did not stop, and morale returned to zero.

This was the most intuitive feeling of the German army at the time about the P1000, because they knew very well that any weapon they used was not enough to destroy it, but every shot from the enemy could sweep the battlefield.

In contrast, the Kirin·Kai tank, which also had an overwhelming advantage in performance but was not as visually impactful as the Pangu, became a foil. In fact, according to post-war statistics, more than 80% of the German tanks destroyed were the result of the Kirin·Kai, but the appearance of Pangu caused the German army to collapse, the kind that collapsed at the first encounter. This deterrence made the record of the Kirin·Kai tanks even more dazzling, because the enemy was either fleeing or on the way to escape.

defense?

Oh, you clever fellow, I want to kick you in the ass with my boot!

The Sinai Peninsula is flat and flat. How can I defend Dio? Your mother is open source! (A vicious curse from the Mechanicus).

However, the German army was not completely powerless to fight back.

"The Tirpitz is passing through the Suez Canal. We can call for fleet fire support!"

The staff officer's words woke Rommel up and he immediately made arrangements.

The German army began to fight and retreat, gradually luring the volunteer army's armored forces into the battleship's fire range.

Wait a minute, isn’t it the German-Italian coalition army? Where is the Italian army?

In this situation, do you think those spaghetti noodles will fight to the end?

The German army deployed while retreating, but the Italian army surrendered on the way of retreat. If they could run, they would run. If they couldn't run, they would raise their hands and salute in French style. It was better than dying in battle.

Glory belongs to the country, victory belongs to the leader, but your life is your own.

It seems that these people have not yet fully exaggerated the Mohist thought (shakes their head).

The players, who had long been aware of the Italian army's decline, immediately took the right action. They gave the Italian army a lot of shovels and asked them to find a suitable place nearby to build a prisoner-of-war camp, and then wait for the volunteers to come back to manage it.

Well, you didn't hear that the players just gave out shovels, confiscated the men's weapons, and gave the rest to the prisoners themselves.

It is hard to say about other armies, but the Italian army had strong self-management capabilities after surrendering.

Look, they immediately went to build the prisoner-of-war camp happily, without any psychological burden at all due to being captured.

If the German army could still sweep the world like before, they naturally wouldn't mind working behind the German army. These Italian soldiers still have a strong civil engineering spirit when they transform into civil workers, but when it comes to a life-and-death battle, sorry, we can't do it. We still prefer to surrender, and it would be even better if the object of our surrender can give us a lot of Italian pasta.

What a coincidence! Before this operation, the players had actually prepared a lot of canned Italian pasta, specifically to appease the Italians.

Take your basic living supplies and build a suitable prisoner-of-war camp now.

okay!

The Italian prisoners of war were captured just like that. I wonder what the German army would think if they saw this scene. Perhaps they would not have any emotional fluctuations. After all, the Italian army was badly harassed by the local resistance forces in Libya, and successfully achieved the great achievement of Europe paying war reparations to African countries.

How kind! Italians understood the principle of transfer payments before World War II. I am so touched.

At this time, the Tirpitz, which was passing through the Suez Canal, received its latest combat mission.

"Prepare fire support, our marshal needs our help."

With Tirpitz's four twin-mounted 380mm main guns, it can indeed threaten the Pangu super-heavy tank. As long as the Pangu super-heavy tank stops or specializes, it proves that this thing is afraid of the existence of the battleship level. The German army still has a chance of winning, and the German army's morale can be quickly restored afterwards.

As long as we prepare a large enough artillery, we can stop that...that ship...that huge monster anyway!

The Tirpitz's main guns had an effective range of over 30 kilometers, more than enough to provide a barrage of protection for the retreating Desert Army. That's right! All they had to do was retreat to that spot.

Then, a scene that no one expected appeared. Thirty-five kilometers away from the Tirpitz, Pangu actually took the initiative to fire at the Tirpitz, and the shells accurately hit the Tirpitz after flying a distance of 35 kilometers.

When smoke and flames rose from the deck of the Tirpitz, the whole world seemed to be paused.

The German sailors were in chaos, while the German armored troops who retreated nearby were stunned.

This... must be fake.

Chapter 224: Super Tank Frenzy

(First update! Does anyone still have coins or notes to urge updates? Thank you)

In a certain "serious" game that "respects facts," "restores history," is "objective and fair," and "full of realistic abstract philosophy," tank air defense, anti-aircraft guns, and fighter planes performing kamikaze maneuvers are all perfectly normal, basic operations. So tanks sparring with warships is also a given... What the hell! Is that what tanks are supposed to do?

What? You mean the P1000 in the fictional world line is fighting against the Tirpitz?

This is even more outrageous!

But no matter what, this scene did happen, and the enemy was able to shoot from a long distance and accurately. What happened in the Taiwan Strait was played out between land and sea in a completely new way this time.

The Tirpitz, which was bitten twice by 305, was confused and said, "Brother, how did you reach me?"

With the Tirpitz's defense, even if the 305 gun hit a few times, it would have no effect. But, but, it was 35 kilometers away, which was already the limit of the effective range for Beizhai. If it was even a little bit beyond the limit, it would be completely off target. Although the river conditions in the Suez Canal were not as complicated as the sea conditions, this also meant that the Tirpitz only had two options: forward and backward, and there was no way to maneuver in other directions.

Because there were other warships behind it and the width of the Suez Canal was limited, Beizhai could only move forward, so its route of advance was completely predictable.

Damn it, I'm the one who's in a dilemma now! ?

However, Bei Zhai can still withstand the damage of the 305mm gun. Besides, even if the opponent can shoot accurately, what can he do? At such a long distance, the hit just now must have been a mistake. I have four twin-mounted 380mm guns.

The battle situation is eight gates 380 versus two gates 305, the advantage is on my side!

boom!

Another effective hit, the Pangu super-heavy tank still hovered at a position of 35 kilometers.

"Fight back!"

The captain of the Tirpitz gave a decisive order. Regardless of whether the enemy could be hit or not, a counterattack was necessary. Just taking a beating without fighting back would do great damage to morale. The enemy was only a mere 1,800-ton thing. How could our 50,000-ton battleship be scared by such a small thing? Open fire!

"Lululu, you can't hit it."

The Imperial Convention arrogantly raised its middle finger in the direction where the shells flew, and did not take Tirpitz's artillery fire seriously at all.

The landing point has nothing to do with me. It's just an expensive large-scale firework. What's there to be afraid of?

Thus, the most ridiculous scene in human history appeared, a battleship, a... a... a... anyway, a Land Cruiser, relied on two 305 guns to fight against a battleship with eight 380 guns, and even kited the battleship.

Objectively speaking, Pangu is currently in a very advantageous position. It can circle, turn, stop suddenly, and move 360 ​​degrees. However, the Tirpitz only has two gears: forward and reverse. The reverse gear cannot be used, so it can only move forward, which is equivalent to becoming a moving target at a constant speed. Under the control of the players, the shooting difficulty is no different from shooting at a fixed target.

So the situation became that the Tirpitz's shells fell three or four kilometers away from Pangu, but Pangu's shells basically hit Beizhai with an average hit rate of more than 80%.

If it were a ship girl, she would have been crying and hating for a long time now.

Less than ten minutes into the battle, anyone could see that the Tirpitz was completely at a disadvantage. All the shells from the Volunteer Army's side hit it accurately, and the occasional missed shots were due to cross-fire, which was terrifying to watch.

The equipment of the Volunteer Army is so terrifying.

This situation of being hit by the enemy's advanced weapons at any place was too frustrating. Soon the Tirpitz had to choose to run the engine at full speed, not because it wanted to go ashore in a rage, but to speed up to pass through the Suez Canal and then evacuate.

There was no way to fight this battle. The enemy was at the extreme range of our side the whole time, and hitting the target depended entirely on luck. After all these attempts, the captain of the Tirpitz believed that he did not have the luck to be blessed by God, so he could only save the ship.

The Tirpitz has more important tasks to perform and cannot just die here in such frustration.

With the departure of the Tirpitz, Rommel gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight with the volunteers on land, and decisively led his troops to cross the Suez Canal and directly abandoned the Sinai Peninsula.

No, we can’t defeat them at all. If we want to rush over, we must at least deal with that super heavy tank first.

Rommel also noticed that during the battle, the volunteer planes were just circling in the sky, looking like they were watching the fun, and had no intention of attacking the Tirpitz. During the entire battle, the anti-aircraft guns on the Tirpitz and other German ships were only in a ready-to-use design state, and in fact not a single anti-aircraft shell was fired.

It was a real chivalrous duel, and even if one lost, it was a convincing defeat.

Besides, in terms of firepower and tonnage, the Tirpitz has an overwhelming advantage.

After this battle, the German African Corps never crossed the Suez Canal again, and Rommel's dream of becoming Alexander the Great was completely shattered.

But the impact was enormous. The German army took a large number of photos to prove the value of super-heavy tanks on the battlefield. Especially when the pictures of the Pangu and Tirpitz fighting each other were transmitted back, the man with a mustache stared with wide eyes.

"We need super tanks! We Germans also need our own super tanks!"

Amid the Führer's roar, a number of German car companies stepped forward and began to shoulder the responsibility of manufacturing the German version of the super tank.

As we all know, World War II was a time of intense competition in the automotive industry. Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Toyota, Porsche, Mazda, Willys, and Chrysler were all working hard to eliminate their competitors through physical means. It was a truly vibrant scene, with everything competing for development.

Perhaps they cannot reach the level of the 21st century in some technologies, let alone compare with the volunteer army with powerful skills, but their industrial technology is still very powerful by the standards of World War II. When their national will is strengthened, they can unleash unimaginable power.

With the Battle of the Sinai Peninsula as the dividing line, countries around the world have been swept by a super tank craze.

Yes, this thing is indeed very frustrated when facing airplanes, but once it gains air superiority, it does not need to be absolute air superiority. Even if it is relative air superiority, the super tank can exert unexpected breakthrough capabilities and can easily crush all defense lines on the battlefield.

This alone is enough to attract many countries.

So Germany proposed the "P" series plan, the United States proposed the "S" super tank plan, and Japan launched the "super-heavy tank plan". Although Britain proposed a plan, it only made its people feel that Britain was still struggling and had not given up its homeland. Their plan was actually based on the United States' "S" super tank plan.

There is no way. Britain, which lost its homeland, also lost its most advanced industrial production capacity and technical talent reserves, which are not available in Canada. It is good enough that the Sherman tanks can be modified here (to be honest, the modification is not that good), and we cannot ask for too much.

Britain, which came to Canada, is trying to reorganize and restore its past glory. At least Britain cannot be marginalized in this world war, otherwise it will inevitably lose everything.

The Soviet Union was also led astray by the Volunteer Army and proposed the "Project 942", intending to refer to Xinhua's Pangu tank plan to build its own super tank, and Comrade Gangtie personally took charge of this matter.

Who made the Pangu tank perform so brilliantly? Before the myth of the super tank was completely crushed, the major powers would toss around for a while, allowing the history of world tank development to enter a state of flourishing.

With the failure of the Sinai Peninsula Campaign, Germany lost its absolute control over the Suez Canal. After all, the Sinai Peninsula is the eastern gate of the Suez Canal. As a canal, it has double doors. When one door is in the hands of the enemy, the safety of passing through here is naturally not guaranteed. All Rommel can do is maintain the status quo.

For the Allied forces, the Volunteer Army brought a joyous victory right after its arrival, which was truly a case of "experts can tell the difference with just one move."

Even the US military far away in North America had the fantasy of "How great it would be if the volunteer army was around us", and hoped that the international volunteer army would also have a column or something in the Americas.

What made Roosevelt and Churchill happy and worried finally happened.

Before the United States and Britain achieved a landmark victory, the Volunteer Army took the lead in gaining a major local advantage and reaped the rewards right from the start.

On this issue, it is useless to talk about anything else. Combat record is the only criterion for measuring the strength of an army.

You can produce a bunch of data to prove that you are good enough, but without victory it is just a show. You can use propaganda and public opinion to deceive the people, but the real dynamics of the front line cannot deceive anyone with an IQ.

Do we really need to invite volunteers to come to America?

No! Absolutely not! The fact that the Volunteer Army emerged from America on its own is different from the fact that the United States invited the Volunteer Army. The fear of the Volunteer Army by American capitalists is even greater than their fear of the Nazis.

When the Nazis came, the most they could do was say goodbye to power.

But the volunteers came and they said goodbye to the world.

A capitalist with strong beliefs does not want to be a swaying street lamp pendant.

"Mr. President, regarding the report on the Volunteer Army..."

"Just report it truthfully. Now we need a brilliant enough victory to boost morale."

"Yes."

After the secretary left, Roosevelt sighed, with a freshly-made battle plan in front of him.

"We have to solve the problems at our doorstep first."

However, before that, some volunteer troops appeared on some islands in Oceania. Their equipment was lighter than other volunteer troops, but more suitable for island warfare, with obvious characteristics of the Marine Corps. Their number was: the Fourth Column of the International Volunteer Army.

Oceania is about to usher in a new era - the era of great war and chaos.

Chapter 225: I want to compete with you in bladder capacity!

(Second update here! By the way, I'll catch a reader and persecute him, hehehe)

Australia, now renamed Orb by Japan, is their new homeland.

Darwin Port was renamed New Tokyo and is the current capital. However, the Japanese government will definitely move the capital in the future. History has proven that it is too dangerous to place the capital in the coastal area. It is better to quickly shrink it inland. This will also bring another advantage and drive the development of remote areas.

The Japanese were envious of Xinhua's Xijing development model and wanted to replicate it.

That's right, they plan to place the future New Tokyo in central Australia, and the ecosystem here is very unique.

It is a vast desert, but it has local flora and fauna.
