Chapter 340: Annihilation War (Silver Plus 710)

Chapter 340 Battle of Annihilation (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!"

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

————

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 functional for the time being, because the artillery of the division and army has not kept up.

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

Surrounded on three sides - well, considering the location of the reinforcements, this enemy force has been surrounded on all 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.

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. .

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

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

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.

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

Wang Zhong connected the radios of the five Eddy vehicles approaching from the front: "Close to 1,500 meters and fire. The distance is controlled by your command."

"yes!"

Soon enough, the Panzer No. 6 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 artillery shell. 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 across the deck because the battle distance is far, often 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 fainting time may only last 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. 4) or the short 88 (the main gun of the new heavy tank), it seems that there is nothing that can be done about the frontal armor of the vortex.

The scene of five vortexes advancing under enemy fire reminded Wang Zhong of the video of the Russian maggot tanks rampaging on the enemy's position that he had seen before crossing.

Suddenly, the 460 vortex stopped!

Wang Zhong was shocked, thinking that the enemy had caused the first wave of casualties before our army opened fire, but after a closer look, he found that the track was broken.

The assault gun was useless if the track was broken. Perhaps because of this, the hatch of the 460 vehicle was opened, and the commander threw a few smoke bombs, and then climbed out of the vehicle under the cover of smoke.

The enemy fired for two minutes, and the 458 vortex suddenly stopped, turned the body to aim, and then fired the first shot at lightning speed.

The impact caused by the muzzle gust of the 100mm gun was more spectacular than that of the 88 and 75 guns.

The moment the gun was fired, the destroyer's vision was ruined, all of which was the smoke and dust blown up by the muzzle gust - the vortex destroyer was relatively short and was directly blocked.

Wang Zhong immediately turned to the enemy and saw a Type 4 tank on fire. The members were climbing out of the car. Some of them were on fire and had to roll on the grass to put out the fire.

"Well done." Wang Zhong couldn't help shouting, and then he realized that he couldn't see the battlefield directly.

So he pretended to be the tiger-hunting team and reported to him.

Except for the unlucky one with broken tracks, all the vortexes in the front opened fire.

As long as the Type 3 and Type 4 were hit by 100 guns, they would definitely be finished. Even if there was no ammunition depot explosion, they would catch fire until they were completely burned.

However, several new heavy tanks were still strong.

Wang Zhong looked at the distance and found that the commander of the front vortex was too impatient and stopped shooting too early, resulting in a distance of 1,700 to 1,800 meters from the new heavy tank when he opened fire.

It would be a miracle if he could penetrate at this distance.

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

While he was hesitating, Chief of Staff Alexander, who led the frontal attack team, said: "General, our 100 guns seem to be unable to penetrate these new Plosson weapons!"

Wang Zhong: "Why panic! It must be too far away. Advance to 1,500 meters and test again!"

Don't underestimate the damage effect of only advancing 300 meters.

The order was transmitted through radio waves. Wang Zhong was satisfied to see that the tank destroyers that had stopped in the front maintained a simple "horizontal formation" and continued to advance forward-except for the unlucky guy whose tracks were broken.

On the way forward, another tank destroyer stopped. Wang Zhong hurriedly took a closer look and found that the tracks were broken again.

But this obviously did not shake the determination of the frontal detachment to attack.

At this time, the tank destroyers on the north and south sides that were encircling also turned their bodies and rushed towards the small group of Plosson troops that were surrounded.

And the vortex tank destroyers deployed in front of the enemy stopped at a distance of 1,400 meters from the enemy.

They opened fire again.

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

The next moment, the hatch of the No. 220 vehicle opened, and the members climbed out with their buttocks and urine flowing, and then black smoke came out of the rear of the vehicle.

The open fire was the last to appear. Looking at the burning No. 6 tank, Wang Zhong felt so distressed, thinking, "What are you doing, Proson people? Put out the fire! This is the equipment I need!"

The No. 217 vehicle was the second to be hit. It was originally 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 car. Wang Zhong nodded his head. Wow, none of the five people were even injured.

Wang Zhong began to reflect on whether he had put too little explosives in the shells, and hit the tank without killing the members inside.

While thinking about these things, he watched the vortex fight the Tiger tank.

The other Type 3 and long-barreled Type 4 tanks had all been blasted, and some had been burned to charcoal.

There were still two Type 6 heavy tanks that survived, and they were fighting tenaciously.

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

The thread shears opened fire, and the enemy infantry was also paying attention to the tank battle. They didn't expect to be attacked, let alone attacked by a silent automatic rifle.

Wang Zhong watched an Ant sergeant holding a thread shear and firing, killing about a squad of people. As a result, the other enemies were all paying attention to the armor-piercing confrontation between the two new types of armored vehicles, and they didn't realize that they had lost a squad.

When the thread shears in the hands of the infantry had knocked down nearly 80 people, Proson finally realized that he was being attacked, and the officers and non-commissioned officers began to organize the battle.

Although the Ant infantry lost the advantage of the surprise attack, the battle just now had put them in a favorable position. The fire net formed by the thread shears quickly knocked down the enemy's accompanying infantry.

The armored soldiers who got off the car 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 destroyed, the Ante infantry had temporarily controlled the battlefield and were about to take the last new tank as a trophy.

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