When morning comes, the sun will soon rise above the ground, and the white fog in the valley will quickly dissipate under the light. When Zhou Qingfeng completed an assault and turned around, the situation on the battlefield was suddenly clear.
The U.S. military on the top of Gutuli Mountain held up binoculars and could clearly see the killing scene two or three kilometers away. It was really a road to hell. The road was full of destroyed vehicles, and there were a lot of corpses under the black smoke that was constantly rising.
.And what caused all this was just a tank.
"Oh my god! This is almost the total destruction of the armored battalion, but it was beaten so brutally?"
"The enemy's tank is a new model that has never been seen before."
"Look at that main gun and its armor. No wonder the armored detachment of the 'Drysdale' can't withstand it. Its performance is definitely better than the 'Pershing' we are currently using."
Surprised, the American troops watching the show on the hilltop were all asking: What should we do?
But after thinking about it silently, everyone found that there was nothing they could do. Because there were still many American soldiers on the battlefield, bombarding them with howitzers would only accidentally injure their own people - although those own people were likely to be tortured again soon.
Sure enough..., the IS-7 turned around and exerted force again from the other side. Driven by the strong power, the heavy body once again shot up to high speed. The American soldiers who were originally hiding here had to rush to the other side while screaming.
On the other hand, some people were inevitably shot to death by machine guns.
The remaining 'Pershing' in front were the worst. The IS-7 had just passed by them and had already demonstrated its firepower, armor and maneuverability to completely defeat them. Now the God of Death has come back again, and he is definitely not here to follow them.
They say hello and there is no way to escape.
"Turn around, turn around immediately."
"We can't penetrate the front of it, we should go behind it."
"Hell, we're stuck on this road."
The current dirt road called 'Long Pass' is very narrow. During the raid, there were vehicle wreckage in front and behind, and there was a block at both ends. It could only be passed through the hillside on the roadside. However, the M26 'Pershing', which weighs more than 40 tons, has good armor.
, but the power is only 500 horsepower, and the maneuverability is weak, far inferior to the IS-7.
Seeing that the slow-moving 'Pershing' wanted to divide into two teams to outflank his rear, Zhou Qingfeng directly ordered to fire during the move. The vertical stabilizer of the tank prevented the artillery from swinging greatly, and he fired at close range, and the one at the rear of the team fired.
The 'Pershing' was immediately destroyed.
The parts flying all over the sky drove other 'Pershing' commanders completely crazy. No one wanted to wait to die like this. Their gunners had tried their best to bombard the IS-7, but the tank's steeply angled frontal armor was too thick.
The steel is too good to be penetrated by a 90mm caliber tank gun.
The front armor of the IS-7 cannot even be penetrated by its own 130mm-caliber main gun. The advantage of its more than 60-ton body is that it is extremely strong!
Seeing this steel behemoth that they had never seen before approaching quickly, some Pershings struggled to the death, but were naturally bombed into scrap metal. Some Pershing crews simply abandoned their vehicles and fled.
Please save your life.
Zhou Qingfeng only knocked out four of his seven rounds, and found that the remaining seven Pershings were abandoned in front of his eyes. Only two of the seven were damaged by bombs dropped by their crews, while the other five were still intact.
.
Click, click, click..., the IS-7 machine gunner strafed the US tank crews who were fleeing to both sides of the road from the turret. Zhou Qingfeng also emerged from the turret, glanced around and immediately ordered: "Go and check these tanks with a few people. If you can
If you leave, leave immediately. We are taking this opportunity to expand."
In order to reserve tank crews, Zhou Qingfeng stuffed eight crew members into the IS-7. Although the space inside the vehicle was large after the modification, it was too crowded with so many people. Now that five people were separated, the air in the turret was fresher.
.
"Turn the turret around and change grenades for me." Zhou Qingfeng gave the order, and the gunner immediately pointed the muzzle in the direction of Tuguli, "aiming at the artillery observation post on the enemy's hilltop."
The pursuing U.S. armored detachment is finished, but there is still a difficulty in leaving safely - the U.S. artillery in the ancient soil can chase you all the way and blast you out of your body with indirect fire.
But indirect fire requires artillery observation posts!
Seeing the enemy's super-heavy tank destroying an armored battalion in front of them, the US military on the hilltop was shocked and angry. Someone had already reported the coordinates to the artillery in the circular position on the radio, and wanted to give Zhou Qingfeng a happy revenge.
But Zhou Qingfeng's anger poured out first.
IS-7 uses a naval gun as the main gun. This cannon, numbered S-70, was later improved into an M-46 cannon. Do you still remember that Zhou Qingfeng once bombarded a US destroyer before, using the M-46 cannon.
Zhou Qingfeng spent 100 million to build tanks, but the Bingzhou Tractor Factory could not build a few cannons specifically for him, so it brought ready-made artillery and modified it for him. China has introduced the technology of the M-46 cannon and produced the 59 series of cannons - this
59 is not a tank.
Although it is impossible to use advanced ammunition types produced after the 1950s, ordinary grenades with a caliber of 130 mm are already extremely powerful. Zhou Qingfeng also specially used shrapnel with an air-explosion fuse, which exploded and enveloped more than 100 meters.
Within thirty meters, no one can survive.
A single shrapnel can destroy half a hilltop. The American troops who were standing on the top of the hill watching the excitement were immediately hit. They were caught off guard and fell in pieces. Many people were beaten to pieces by the projectiles. The shrapnel was so ferocious.
It definitely exceeded the expectations of the US military.
You must know that the Volunteer Army has never used such powerful ammunition on the battlefield in the past. Most of them used 82- and 60-mm caliber mortars, and their firepower was pitiful and almost nonexistent. Only the US military used 105 or even 155-caliber mortars.
The artillery shells bombarded the volunteers.
"Now it's the Americans' turn to have fun. I've specially prepared this for you." Seeing the tragic situation of the US military in the peripheral mirror, Zhou Qingfeng laughed violently and savagely. He was absolutely devoid of humanity on the battlefield.
.
There are two main hills that serve as artillery observation posts in the north of Tuguli. Both of these hills have been successively visited by IS-7 shrapnel. Compared with simple grenades that can be avoided by hiding in the trenches, the shrapnel fired by aerial bombing disperses projectiles.
There is no way for people to hide and they can only die.
The U.S. artillery in the Tuguli river floodplain also learned of the destruction of the armored unit. They had long been waiting to carry out coverage shooting according to the coordinates given by the observation post. Colonel Puller, who commanded the U.S. military in Tuguli, was not even willing to invest only one howitzer battery.
Pulled out a heavy mortar battalion.
Coordinates, coordinates, tell me the coordinates... The artillery commanders were all waiting for information in front of the radio, but what they were waiting for was the rustle of the radio and the roar of shrapnel explosions on the top of the mountain. The two hills were completely destroyed in a short time.
Covered, even if you think with your knees, you know that the people on the top of the mountain will definitely not be able to escape.
When the black smoke from the top of the mountain rushed into the sky, the American troops at the foot of the mountain were in a collective daze. Even Colonel Puller himself had a suspicion in his heart - are we still fighting the poor and weak yellow monkeys of the past? Why does it feel like this?
