Chapter 84. Three thousand five hundred and twenty meters
After discovering the attack of Edward's army, the DX Expeditionary Force base immediately activated defensive measures. The base built next to the lake has strong defenses, which can be seen from the fact that a DX Expeditionary Force squadron is stationed there.
As the floating armor appeared and entered the thick fixed armor defense, the three heavy machine guns and the DX expeditionary infantry all quickly returned to the defensive position, using their own effective defense facilities to launch a defense with powerful firepower.
"No, they also have anti-tank missiles!"
Looking at the floating armor slowly floating more than three meters high, Sonny, who was trying to follow the attack of the T72 main battle tank, was slightly startled, his eyes narrowed sharply, and he immediately pressed the intercom on his shoulder: "There is an enemy in this base."
Armor ability!"
"Anti-armor capability?!" Edward quickly rushed forward and rushed up the hill. He picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the DX Expeditionary Force base. After looking around for a while, he saw the obvious short-tube-shaped object.
"It's a small anti-tank missile!"
Jessica was also holding a telescope at the side, looking at the short-tube-shaped object, frowning, turning to Edward: "Although I don't know what their range is, they can definitely pose a threat to our armored forces.
.”
"Damn it!" Edward spat out fiercely, looked at the DX Expeditionary Force base, pressed the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and said loudly: "All soldiers should pay attention to concealment, and only after destroying the enemy's fire points are they allowed to move forward!"
With anti-tank missiles and heavy machine guns, this DX expeditionary force base obviously cannot be treated as an ordinary energy base, especially the large number of anti-tank missile launchers and more heavy machine guns, which obviously makes Edward
Somewhat tricky.
If a T72 main battle tank is accidentally destroyed, the infantry following behind may also suffer heavy losses under the intensive firepower of heavy machine guns. And those DX expeditionary forces can still rely on the defense of the base to resist the Edward armor.
A powerful offensive by the troops.
"It's a bit difficult." Edward squinted his eyes and looked at the DX Expeditionary Force Base in front of him. If it was on the plains, what would happen even if there were two squadrons equipped with anti-tank missiles? They would still be swept away by the torrent of steel.
Get in!
"The first row stops advancing and pay attention to enemy attacks!"
The first platoon leader Sonny was hiding behind a T72 main battle tank. All seven T72 main battle tanks had slowly stopped. Fighting in such a hilly area, even as the king of land
, they can only be more cautious.
Especially the rolling hills will expose their fragile top armor and bottom armor. If possible, in this attack, the T72 main battle tank must be careful of the enemy's anti-tank missiles!
Otherwise, Edward's biggest reliance now, even if one of these seven T72 main battle tanks is destroyed, Edward will feel a sense of tearing from his soul. After all, this is his current main force!
"T72 Tank Requests to Fire!"
Slowly moving the turret, the 125mm smoothbore gun aimed at a fixed armor more than 3,000 meters away through the gun sighting system. As the lock was completed, the commander took a slight breath, pressed the intercom and said: "Three meters away from the enemy.
Thousand five hundred and twenty meters.”
The gunner in the T72 main battle tank slowly moved the turret, looked at the fixed armor more than three thousand meters away, finally determined the position, and nodded to the commander: "It's ready!"
"More than 3,500 meters? Commander, are you sure?"
At the top of the hill, Edward frowned slightly. At a distance of more than 3,500 meters, even after installing the electromagnetic amplification device for artillery shells, it would still be a huge challenge for the gun sighting system of the T72 main battle tank.
After all, although the heavy industry of the former Soviet Union was extremely developed, its light industry was not that good. For some important high-tech and high-precision components, it was still slightly behind Europe and the United States.
"If the so-called electromagnetic amplification device is really effective, I have a 70% chance of hitting it!"
The gunner took a deep breath, looked closely at the floating armor wrapped in fixed armor more than 3,500 meters away through the gun sighting device, turned his head and gave a thumbs up, and said affirmatively: "
I can do it!”
As a gunner who graduated with distinction from a tank school, the cooperation between him, the commander, and the driver can be said to be perfect. Especially when the tank is stationary, he can rely on each other's cooperation to form perfect shooting preparations.
Sometimes tanks do not rely on strong firepower and excellent armor, but the quality of the driver, commander, and gunner is a big part of it, and will account for a very important proportion in the confrontation.
"Permission to fire!"
Through the telescope, Edward looked at the anti-tank missiles and heavy machine guns in the fixed armor. He slowly exhaled, pressed the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and nodded: "If you can do it, then kill them!"
Although the T72 main battle tank in the previous life left a bad impression on people during the war and was evaluated as a tank that could only survive in small-scale conflicts, one thing is unquestionable, that is, in these wars, these tanks
The quality of tank operators is simply not up to standard.
If in the hands of the Soviets, this T72 main battle tank would be like a tiger, but in the hands of the Iraqis, it would be nothing more than a carrion-eating hyena, because the Soviets' tank military education is simply systematic and perfect!
"I don't believe that these soldiers under my command can't even compare to the Iraqis!"
Edward gritted his teeth. At worst, he would use the T72 main battle tank as a self-propelled cannon. Anyway, after loading the new attachment, the tank gun shell amplification device, whether it is the muzzle velocity of the shell, the power, or the ballistics and range, there will be a great improvement.
improve.
"The muzzle is calibrated, the shells are loaded, and the target has been locked." Through the gun sight device, the gunner checked it carefully again, adjusted the muzzle slightly, nodded and said affirmatively: "Request to fire!"
"Fire!"
The commander nodded slightly and patted the gunner's shoulder gently forward. The meaning was self-evident. If the first shell could not accurately hit the enemy, then Edward would definitely order the cancellation of this behavior of consuming ammunition.
A shell of 500 points is not wasted. Although there is no doubt about the power of seven T72 main battle tanks, the consumption of fuel, tank shells, and heavy machine gun bullets during battle can almost reach 3,000 points per game.
!
"Bang——"
The electric current flashed rapidly, and with the dazzling fire, a tank shell instantly rushed out of the barrel. But just as it was about to rush out of the muzzle, a burst of intense blue electric current suddenly appeared in the fire, and a burst of ear-piercing whistling erupted.
Voice.
A faint blue current emerged from all the shells, and the torn air emitted a certain shrillness. You could almost only see some kind of blue current emerging. The distance of 3,500 meters was barely two seconds.
The bell hit it hard.
"boom--"
Violent shocks instantly appeared on the DX expeditionary base. Thick dust instantly filled the air for three weeks. A large number of fortification debris instantly swept through the three weeks, forming a second strike that instantly swept down the surrounding DX infantry.
piece.
"Succeeded..." Edward, who was standing on the hill, was stunned for a moment. Hearing the system sound coming from his ears, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he nodded slowly. He turned to Jessica who was following him and said:
"This seems like a good tactic."
"Now that it's successful, I think I can try it."
Looking at the barrel of the T72 main battle tank that was still trembling slowly due to firing, Jessica also smiled slightly, rubbed her hands together, nodded and said: "The electromagnetic amplification device really works."
Tank guns are actually direct-fire cannons. In some aspects, they can still cause powerful damage to fixed units, especially the base of the DX Expeditionary Force. After being strengthened, they can even hit directly.
The smoke screen formed by the dust slowly dissipated, and a large hole instantly appeared in everyone's telescopes. Inside the seemingly solid fixed armor, there was only darkness and broken weapon parts left!
"T72 tank unit, fire!"
Edward slowly took a step forward, looked at the big hole, and took a deep breath. This was indeed an extremely useful tactic. The distance of three thousand meters was more than one kilometer, and he could hit the enemy's fire point so easily. It was like this in his previous life.
Unthinkable!
However, with this tank gun shell amplification device, almost even the range has been improved a lot. You must know that the previous T72 main battle tank had a rubbish gun sighting system and reference range. It can be almost ignored beyond 1,500 meters.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"
A series of violent thunders swept across the bottom of the hill in an instant, and the T72 main battle tanks lined up opened fire at the same time. The rich muzzle flames seemed to turn into one, and the currents mixed in them were also connected to each other, and it was like a power grid.
Emerging from the muzzle flash.
A violent explosion instantly appeared in the DX Expeditionary Force base. Countless dust filled the area and immediately enveloped the area. The 125mm smoothbore cannon was still bombarding, severely hitting the seemingly solid defense outside the base.
"It seems like this is not a simple base."
More and more mechanical sounds came to his ears, and eventually it was like nagging chanting. Edward listened carefully, and the points in it fluctuated even more. It was obvious that the DX Expeditionary Force did not have only one unit.
"But it's just my points!"
Looking at the base with flames everywhere, Edward raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head slightly to look at the two platoons that had been prepared, pressed the intercom, waved forward fiercely, and gave a serious order: "First Platoon
Second row, attack immediately!"
"Kill the elite infantry of the DX expeditionary force
