Chapter 1143 This Must Be Fake
The duel between the second-tier mammoth and the terminator did not fight for three hundred rounds as one might think. It only took three rounds to decide the winner.
This round is calculated according to the Terminator's moves. After all, if the Terminator tank hits one shot, the second-level mammoth on the opposite side can get back 3 shots.
In other words, it was only the 32 Terminators of the Americans who fired only 3 rounds of artillery and were defeated.
Although the Terminator and the Second Mammoth Tank look similar, the difference in performance between the two is so far from the level of Li Ghost and Li Kui.
The Terminator that the first level mammoth can resist, and the second level mammoth, these 170mm twin spear generals can beat them down with one pick and two.
This duel of heavily armored knights was a one-sided situation from the start. It didn't take long for only 3 of the Americans' Terminator tanks to be active. But the confidence of the American tankers had already collapsed, and after a long time of bombing, the black second-class mammoths on the opposite side were not injured at all, but the double-barreled cannon bombarded a Terminator with one shot.
The Americans were stunned.
In the eyes of the Chinese people, these hole cards of theirs are like papier-mâché tigers, and their cheers and rejoicing were easily poked down by the Chinese people.
So they froze, not knowing how to react, and even the shattered confidence hung in the air, and it didn't fall for a long time. Until several larger figures slowly crawled onto the battlefield.
"What is this?" This time, everyone on the battlefield was stunned, not only the Americans, but even the Chinese soldiers who saw it were shocked.
Originally, the size of the second-level mammoth and the terminator of 300 tons was already large enough, but these newly arrived steel monsters were more than 35 meters long and 14 meters wide, and the height of 11 meters was taller than a three-story building. Looking at it, it was like a wall of steel pressing straight over.
"It's fake, isn't it?" Someone speculated.
The second class mammoth is terrifying enough with two 170mm barrels, but these newcomers have two 280mm cannons in front of them, which look like the main ship guns on the Scharnhorst battle patrol, how is this not surprising? There was also a 128 mm heavy gun looming above, and a densely arranged 20 mm anti-aircraft gun barrel.
Add to that the sheer size of the slow-moving body, if it weren't for the 3.6-meter-wide tracks below that crushed all obstacles in front of you. It's like a battleship at sea climbing onto land.
The brains of the Americans did not switch for a while from the role of a two-dimensional reptile monster on land and sea. When he was still in a daze, he saw the big yellow five stars marked on these behemoths, and the Huaxia side had already begun to cheer.
"This, this must be fake!" Many more Americans still can't believe what they're seeing, and it's a reason to hold on to hope of an imminent collapse.
"Boom, boom!" The behemoths that were slowly crawling directly refuted all doubts with the roars of the two 280-millimeter cannons raised above them, and also shattered the little morale that remained of the American army.
The sound of artillery was like the last straw on the American camel. The American army collapsed gorgeously.
The American tanks were the first to be defeated.
The Chinese people have a second-level mammoth that can crush those overlords of the Americans under the tracks, and then some even bigger steel monsters will emerge, who can resist it?
The American tank crews who watched the battle up close had the most intuitive sense of those behemoths, and their shadows could be cast all the way to their hearts.
"You sons of bitches, go back! Resist, resist me! Patton brandished his ivory-handled M1873 Colt revolver. Roaring loudly.
But the detonation of the tank's fleeing engine, and the roar of the Huaxia 2nd Mammoth and P1000 giant rats in the rear had filled the ears of every American GI, and the smoke and dust from the shells and the shadow of death had blinded their eyes, and they no longer paid attention to the commander's scolding and orders, they just wanted to leave the damn hell now.
Fear overwhelmed all honor and responsibility, and the collapse began to collapse from one corner and immediately spread to all sides, driving a chain reaction. As a result, the entire defense line of the Americans also collapsed piece by piece.
……
"Finally somewhat!" Meng Xiang was very satisfied with his idea of sending the P1000 tank temporarily.
This crazy idea of the Germans did not come to fruition in a previous life. But on other planes, these giant rats have been created. And it has become a part of the sub-base manufacturing list.
It's just that these bulky guys don't fit the historical mainstream of this time and space at all, and the high cost is painful, if it weren't for the base upgrade and the cost discount, Meng Xiang didn't plan to make them at all. Even if the cost is reduced, it is higher than the cost of the Apocalypse Tank, and in terms of combat effectiveness, their thickest armor of 360 mm is really not enough for the Apocalypse Tank, and the speed and mobility are even worse than the Apocalypse.
So Meng Xiang only produced 8 cars. One is field testing, the other is deterrence, not only to deter Americans, but also other people who are watching the war in North America. Even if they are façade goods, their massive size can definitely bury terror in the hearts of enemies.
After the Americans' missiles were knocked out and shrunk one after another, and the Huaxia fighters gradually controlled the air supremacy overhead, the P1000, which eliminated the threat, finally appeared behind the second-stage mammoth. Their sheer size also completely overwhelmed the scales of victory.
……
The name of the steel monster was pressed to the second-level mammoth, and the new P1000 was directly called the demon of hell by the American GIs, and the more elegant name was also a giant.
Although these giant rats are not fast, their reputation has spread throughout the battlefield, as long as they go, immediately cause the collapse of the American GIs, no one wants to stay and fight such a steel monster, no one wants to be part of the crushed corpse and blood stains on the 3.6-meter-wide track.
With false rumors, the deterrent effect of the giant rats is more obvious. Even overwhelmed the Apocalypse tank, which made its debut.
If it weren't for the fact that the prestige of the Apocalypse Tank became more and more prominent in one battle after another, and one legendary story after another was completed, I am afraid that the scenery of the first tank would have been robbed by the giant rats.
Until many years later, there were still many people arguing about which one was more powerful, the giant rat or the Apocalypse Tank or the Mammoth Tank, but no matter which one was named the king of tanks, it was the first tank in China anyway.
Now, every step of the rout of the American GIs has created little by little the prestige of the Chinese army as the best in the world.
The Americans really can't hold on.
The fighting for days has caused the Americans great losses. Not only the destroyed tanks and the constantly falling fighters, but also the damage to the personnel made the Americans feel more distressed.
Not only the tank crews who were nested in the tanks and the pilots who had no time to parachute fell with their mounts, but also the huge casualties of the American deserters who were crushed by the Chinese tanks all the way and pursued hundreds of kilometers, but also the American GIs who were cowering in the underground fortifications were also caught in an urn by the Chinese armored troops who pounced up.
In order to avoid the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese army, many well-behaved American soldiers hid underground, but they did not expect that the American army would be defeated so quickly, and as a result, they were blocked in the underground fortifications by the Chinese army.
Those who did not have time to raise their hands in surrender were either burned to death by the flamethrowers and flamethrower tanks, or suffocated to death in the poisonous smoke. Even the Chinese engineers also attracted water from the nearby river, and a flooded Seventh Army came, and poured out all the ground rats, and drowned directly in them before they had time to escape.
It is said that for many years after that, the huddled skeleton was often dug up in the nearby underground.
This place has become a sad place for Americans. More than 640,000 American soldiers were killed on this battlefield, and another 520,000 became prisoners of war in China.
The geographical situation of the battlefield made it difficult for the tanks in China to crush all the enemies, and the captured American troops in the rear also gave the fleeing American troops in the front a chance. They flocked to nearby Chicago.
With the support of large cities in the pure land of steel and concrete, the Americans have regained a little confidence.
The years of fighting have taught them a little that tanks are not popular in street fighting. But the Chinese did not only have tanks, they followed the forward rush of the tanks, and the 1.7 million troops behind them left behind the 700,000 who were responsible for logistics and supply, land grabbing and clearing out the remnants of the American army, and the remaining 1 million troops soon surrounded Chicago.
……
"We will never surrender!" Barton clenched his fists and said angrily.
On the battlefield, Patton even killed two deserters, but he was unable to salvage the situation. Even if he wanted to stay and fight until the last moment, the Americans would not throw a four-star general to Huaxia as a war exploit. Eventually, Barton was dragged to Chicago.
Seeing the defeat of the army, Eisenhower, who was in charge of the city of Chicago, discussed the next step with everyone while deploying to strengthen the city's defenses.
No one expected that the Americans would be defeated so quickly, many arrangements were not in place, and reinforcements from the rear could not arrive in time. Now they are left to deal with this crisis on their own.
After the American soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, many people were unconvinced and wanted to fight again.
Tank warfare is a loss of confidence, but Chicago is a good place to be a street fighting battleground with its steel and concrete frames.
The people of Chicago, who also did not expect their army to be defeated so quickly, were no longer unanimous.
In order to save their property and lives, many people jointly proposed to the government, asking to learn from the Parisians and declare Chicago an undefended city. (To be continued......)
