The distance between the tanks was too far, and neither side could take advantage, so they both used full power and rushed forward. The distance between the tanks on both sides gradually came closer, and the advancing Grizzly 3 tank was the first to fire.
During the march, the leading Grizzly 3 tank accurately hit its opponent. The Maus tank that was hit at a distance of 600 meters actually shook for a while and then continued to move forward.
.Although the hard tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet penetrated the armor, it failed to penetrate it.
"Damn, this old turtle's shell is really thick." Shangguan Feng, the commander of the Grizzly Type 3 tank, cursed.
"Commander, these tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets can't penetrate the opponent, what should we do?" Gunner Gao Shiping asked.
Shangguan Feng's eyes turned and he thought: "Take out the armor-breaking bullets we packed at the bottom of the box. They haven't been used anyway. Let's give them a try."
"That's right." Gao Shiping said, "I'll get it right away." He opened the door of the ammunition box. The head of one round was yellow, and the entire warhead was in a cylinder. Gao Shiping took out the long and thick shell. This is
There are not many armor-breaking shells equipped.
Pushing the armor-breaking shells into the gun barrel, the gunner quickly operated the cannon and aimed at the moving Maus tank. With a bang, the armor-breaking shells flew towards the opponent quickly.
Armor-breaking bullets are different from solid armor-piercing bullets. They are filled with plastic explosives. As long as the projectile hits the tank, the thin shell will deform or break under the huge impact force, and the plastic explosives inside will be as tight as a plaster.
Pasted on the armor surface.
The explosive neither shatters nor flies away. Under the action of the delayed fuse, the explosive stuck to the outside of the armor detonates quickly, and the resulting shock wave acts on the armor with a pressure of tens of billions of Pascals, and huge stress will be transmitted to the inside of the armor.
The effect of such an attack is like hitting a wall with a hammer. Although the wall has not penetrated, the wall on the back peels off piece by piece. The powerful shock wave will penetrate the armor and turn the surface of the inner steel armor into a butterfly shape weighing several kilograms.
Fragments, or dozens of small fragments. Under the influence of huge kinetic energy, these fragments will fly around in the tank, destroying the crew killing equipment, and the tank with intact appearance will lose its combat effectiveness.
The cannonball fired by Gao Shiping stuck firmly to one of the opponent's Maus tanks, but with a deafening explosion, the Maus tank was actually unscathed. The Boston tank was startled by the explosion.
When the soldiers saw that their own tank was unscathed, they all burst out laughing. They laughed at the ineffectiveness of the Chinese tank cannon, but no one noticed that the tank stopped moving after being hit.
"It worked, it stopped moving." Shangguan Feng shouted excitedly.
Gao Shiping nodded excitedly: "The effect is really good. Let's keep going and give these old turtles in Boston a hard beating."
Armor-breaking shells are particularly effective against the Boston tank's homogeneous armor composed entirely of steel, but each tank is equipped with not many armor-breaking shells, and they are quickly consumed. The approaching Maus tank uses
The 128mm caliber tank cannon fired continuously, and finally the Grizzly 3 tank was penetrated through the armor.
Several Chinese tanks that were once considered indestructible were destroyed in succession, which shocked the morale of the Bostonians. They quickly rushed over and started a melee with the Chinese army. Although the artillery of the Grizzly 3 tank could also penetrate the opponent
armor, but the caliber of the artillery is more than 20 millimeters worse, and the opponent completely gives up mobility to improve armor protection. Therefore, except for the armor-breaking bullets that have achieved good results, the effects of other types of bullets are not
good.
Seeing the almost one-to-one casualties on the front line, Su Zhizhen frowned. At present, the weapons of the Chinese army need to be transported from China thousands of miles away. In terms of supplies, they cannot compare with the Bostonians fighting on the inside. Therefore, the same amount of losses has been lost.
Next, the Chinese army is not cost-effective.
At this time, the Vulture 1 attack aircraft group had arrived, but the tanks of both sides were in a melee, and they had no chance to carry out bombing. "Order the tank troops to withdraw from the battle." Su Zhizhen quickly issued the order, and he wanted to leave the attack space for the air force.
space.
Even when reversing, the Grizzly 3 tank can reach a speed of nearly 40 kilometers per hour. Therefore, after the Chinese army received the order to retreat, they did not turn around, but directly reversed and drove to the rear. This avoids destroying the weak rear part.
The armor is facing the enemy, and the Maus tank, with a top speed of only 27 kilometers per hour, cannot catch up with them even if it drives forward.
While retreating under cover of artillery fire, the Chinese army quickly broke away from the opponent. The distance between the two sides quickly widened. When the attack aircraft that had been hovering in the air saw the opportunity coming, they immediately dived and pressed the nose of the aircraft towards the opponent's tank.
force.
The first attack plane passed over the Maus tank at low altitude and accurately dropped a fifty kilogram bomb on the top of the tank. Although the Maus tank was heavily armored, it was limited to its frontal armor. The armor of the tank was
It is divided into frontal armor, side armor, rear armor, bottom armor and top armor, and its thickness is weakened in sequence. As the thinnest top armor of a tank, how can it withstand the blast of a fifty-kilogram aerial bomb?
After the hit Maus tank was hit by the bomb, the top of the turret was broken open by the power of the explosive. The huge power directly killed all the crew members inside. The tank emitted a thick smoke and soon died.
Moved.
Seeing the achievements of their companions, other attack aircraft also lowered their noses and rushed towards the huge Maus tanks. Seeing the opponent's attack aircraft group rushing towards them, the commanders who had hid in the turrets just because of the tank battle opened their doors one after another.
He leaned out of the cover of the tank and operated the anti-aircraft machine gun on the top of the tank, firing desperately at the attack aircraft.
Seeing the opponent using anti-aircraft machine guns to resist, those attack aircraft began to fire with large-caliber aviation machine guns. The attacking aircraft were protected by armor, and the anti-aircraft machine gun fire from the tanks did little damage to them, but the large-caliber aviation machine guns could easily tear them apart.
Crush those unprotected commanders.
In this battle between the ground and the air, the Vulture 1 attack aircraft achieved a complete victory. Before the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery troops rushed to cover, they destroyed more than 300 tanks, most of which were Maus, while their own
But only a dozen planes were lost.
Seeing that something was going wrong, Marshal Pershing quickly recalled his troops. However, another group of Albatross dive bombers flew over the battlefield and bombed the retreating Boston army indiscriminately. These bombers bombed all infantry units.
, and more than twenty of them were loaded with special ammunition. They dropped ceramic bombs on dense enemy groups, while other bombers deliberately avoided the dropping areas of these biological bombs to prevent the bombs from destroying those carrying the virus.
small insects.
The retreating Boston soldiers had already turned into a rout due to the continuous bombing. At this time, all they wanted to do was to escape back to their own city, so how could they pay attention to the shattered but unexploded aerial bombs. The Bostonians did not pay attention, but
It doesn't mean that Su Zhizhen didn't pay attention. He quickly discovered these abnormalities with a telescope: "Old Xiao, you are crazy. You are throwing biological bombs on the battlefield. What should we do if our people are infected?"
Xiao Jun said nonchalantly: "It's no big deal, as long as we don't pursue it, and our soldiers have already been vaccinated, nothing will happen. Now the enemy has begun to suspect the plague and the
We are related. If I drop these bombs to other cities, it will definitely arouse suspicion. If I rely on the opponent's troops to send the virus into the city, no one will suspect us. Just wait to take over the city."
Su Zhizhen said: "What virus did you use this time?"
Xiao Jun smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing too good, it's just the fastest-contagious plague, which is what everyone often calls the Black Death."
"What? This thing can easily cause a large-scale epidemic, and it may even break out across the country." Su Zhizhen was startled when he heard the name of the Black Death. He knew the name of the Black Death very well.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, the Black Death was prevalent in the Western Continent for a period of time. The plague broke out intermittently over hundreds of years. As a result, one-third of the population of the Western Continent died, and almost the entire white world
Death. Until now, people in the Western Continent still turn pale when talking about the Black Death, calling it the God of Death. In the film industry that has emerged in the past decade, most of the thriller or tragedy movies shot by countries in the Western Continent
The Black Death is everywhere, which shows how deeply it has harmed the people of the Western Continent.
Seeing Su Zhizhen's nervous look, Xiao Jun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we have countermeasures. Every virus has a corresponding vaccine, otherwise scientists will not let these viruses leave the laboratory." Su Zhizhen clicked.
He nodded: "I hope so, but you must take precautions. All the people in Zhi Gong Tang and the additional troops fighting in the south must also take precautions. They cannot be allowed to die because of this." Despite Su Zhizhen's instructions,
But in fact he was still very worried.
The Chinese army did not pursue the Boston army. Instead, they retreated into the city and continued to hold on to the dozen or so cities they had occupied. At the same time, they reported to the country and requested to send some workers and engineers to restore production in each city as soon as possible and replenish the army.
Weapons and ammunition.
Marshal Pershing fled back to Davenport City with his troops who had lost a large number of Maus tanks. Although the loss of troops was not large, most of the tanks were lost. This was despite the fact that his own tanks had a certain advantage.
When Marshal Pershing lamented that today's wars cannot be fought without air supremacy, he had no idea what a terrifying demon he had brought back. Without the knowledge of the Bostonians, a battle that almost made the Bostonians almost
The plague that wipes out races is spreading quietly, and will soon be able to demonstrate its powerful destructive power as the god of death.
