Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 999 Landing War (8)

At night.

There is no moon in the sky, and the sky is pitch black. The night here is extremely quiet, with only unknown insects humming around.

Wolf, the tank company commander who was still guarding Section 13, yawned long and looked at his watch. It was now nine o'clock in the evening. "The Yankees probably won't come tonight." Before he finished speaking, the radio in the tank suddenly rang. "I discovered the Yankees' large force, with a regiment of infantry, and more than 50 tanks and assault guns combined. Wait, that's a big guy, it seems to be the Yankees' T-28 heavy destroyer?!"

"What?! T-28 heavy fighter?!" Captain Wolf couldn't help but gasped. They already knew the armor of various types of tanks in the US military. Of course they knew that the armor protection of the T-28 heavy fighter was exaggerated to the extreme. , the frontal armor of the car body reaches a terrifying 305 mm. Even if their 75mm kwk40 L/48 tank gun fires face-to-face from zero distance, it will be impossible to penetrate it. The 105mm equipped with it can penetrate 250mm thick armor at a distance of 1,500 meters. The frontal armor of the Jackal tank they drive is impossible to block.

Captain Wolfe swallowed his saliva and asked into the radio. "How many T-28s are there?"

"There are only two of them, and this guy is slower than a turtle."

Two cars? There are not many in number, but it is impossible to destroy them in a head-on confrontation. You can only wait for them to get close and then attack their sides. Although its side armor is also 64 mm thick and has 100 mm thick skirt armor, it can still be penetrated at close range.

Moreover, it was night and there was no moonlight. We were equipped with night vision goggles and infrared headlights, which gave us a lot of advantages and could definitely catch him off guard.

Captain Wolf discussed with other tank commanders and decided to use six tanks against one T-28 for the sake of safety, trying to destroy these two guys in one fell swoop.

"First turn the turret to the shooting angle and turn off the engine." To shoot the opponent's side armor, you can only wait until the opponent is as close as possible. If the engine is not turned off, the roar of the engine may be detected by the enemy. The only problem is that these Jackal tanks can only be started by hand, and only when the engine is started can the hydraulic drive device be driven to quickly rotate the turret. Although there is also a hand-operated rotation system, it is naturally not as fast as the hydraulic drive device. (For example, in the Tiger tank of the original time and space, it takes one minute to rotate the turret 360 degrees using hydraulic drive. If it is switched to manual rotation, the gunner needs to turn the handle 720 turns or the commander needs to turn the handle 595 turns to make the turret rotate 360 ​​degrees; if both When people operate at the same time, the speed is doubled).

After pondering for a while, the commander asked the loader to get ready. Once the tank fired, the engine would be started immediately, and the electromechanical man would be temporarily responsible for loading the ammunition.

However, the slow speed of the T-28 was really worrying. The scouts in front were only about five kilometers away from them, and they waited for more than half an hour before they saw the huge monster roaring through the night vision goggles. Come.

"This guy is too slow." Seeing the big guy approaching slowly, Wolfe really wanted to run over and give them a hand. It seems that this kind of destroyer has no mobility at all. Even if its protective capabilities are abnormal, what is the use? This Jackal tank has no problem circling them. "I heard that the Soviet Union built a 'super tank'. Isn't that thing much faster than this guy?"

The gunner agreed. "I don't know what these Americans think. Isn't this thing just a fixed turret with a slight mobility? Maybe its performance is not as good as a fixed turret."

After a while, the gunner finally saw the side of the T-28. "Captain, it's time to fire."

However, Wolfe did not give the order to fire. "Wait a minute, this angle is prone to ricochet."

After waiting for another two minutes, Wolfe gave an order to the radio. "All fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Twelve tanks fired artillery shells almost simultaneously, hitting the side armor of the two T-28s.

This American army was worried about being ambushed by the Germans on the way, so they asked the T-28, which had the strongest protection, to clear the way in front. The others could only endure its slow speed and follow slowly behind; they did not expect that there would be Ambush, almost hearing the sound of artillery, 12 shells hit the side armor of two T-28s hard.

The T-28's protective power is truly worthy of its reputation. Fully 7 of the 12 cannons were bounced off by its armor and turned into ricochets. It is unknown where they jumped.

However, the remaining five shells still tore through the thick armor with difficulty and penetrated into the tank.

"Boom! Boom!" Along with the violent explosion, two balls of fire rose into the sky.

The sudden attack obviously frightened the American soldiers behind. Most of them were on the battlefield for the first time and were easily frightened. Those tanks and self-propelled artillery clearly saw the flash of fire in the bushes on both sides of the road, but they forgot to fight back immediately.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Da da da!"

They forgot, but the Germans did not forget. Intense firepower swept towards those American soldiers who were in a state of confusion. These poor guys fell down in pieces like being cut wheat.

Wolff, who was manipulating the commander's machine gun to fire wildly, felt the engine start and the loader climbed back into the tank. "Quick, retreat at full speed!" After all, the numerical gap between the two sides is here. If they are attacked intensively by the opponent, even if the frontal armor is lucky enough not to be penetrated, if the tracks are interrupted, they will have no choice but to abandon the tank.

The 12 tanks began to retreat and paused shooting. The protective power of these tanks and self-propelled artillery is naturally far inferior to that of the T-28. Even at a distance of one thousand meters, they can easily penetrate its frontal armor, and the distance between the two sides at this time is less than 200 meters.

At this time, the US military finally recovered and tried to fight back. It's a pity that they don't have advanced gadgets like night vision goggles and infrared headlights, so they can only fire randomly in the direction of the opposite fire ball. The hit rate can only be described as horrific.

After two rounds of shooting, there were more than twenty fire piles on the US side, each of which was a destroyed tank or self-propelled artillery.

This terrible loss was like a bucket of cold water that instantly extinguished the US military's confidence in counterattack. They did not dare to continue fighting and roared back.

"Haha, these cowards." I thought that these guys would rush over in a swarm to fight them, but when they saw that they started to retreat, Wolfe ordered to stop retreating, and steadily stopped in place and fired one shell after another, destroying a One armored vehicle after another.

After three rounds of shooting, the remaining fifty tanks and self-propelled artillery of the US Army were wiped out. The entire battle lasted not even ten minutes. The truck convoy following the team saw that the situation was not good and fled early, luckily escaping.
