Chapter 83: The Sniper Shows His Might
Fishing is not so easy to catch, especially in the case of shark fishing, one accidentally gets eaten by the fish itself.
Xiahoudun saw that the tank troops were moving in front of him neither fast nor slowly, but he could only maintain a situation that seemed to be able to catch up but could not catch up at all, and suddenly became anxious.
He couldn't allow the tanks to go back smoothly, so he finally gritted his teeth and ordered the fuse to be lit and start throwing mines.
Each cavalry actually had three grenades, but that was used in decisive battles, and the townsmen didn't think they could be useful for these tanks. But now, how can you leave safely after the massacre?
More than 5,000 grenades were thrown directly out and landed directly in the area of the tank. After a while, bursts of explosions rose up, and more than 20 tanks were directly overturned. Xiahoudun was not satisfied, and continued to rush towards more than a dozen tanks in front, leaving only more than 4,000 cavalrymen on horsebacks to count the booty.
It's a pity that he is destined not to get any loot. The operator in the tank directly used the self-destruct system, which to put it bluntly canceled the effect of solidifying the spiritual text, and then connected all the energy of the battery to the shell.
As a result, the flames suddenly rose, ignited and exploded in a very narrow area, and finally the more than 20 tanks quickly turned into more than 20 giant bombs, covering at least 200 square meters in an area, and the wind even spread to a mile away.
The troops, who had just arrived here to receive the spoils of war, were instantly hit by the seedlings, and the five thousand people were directly killed, and all the horses died. As a result, the explosion was the only cause, and the grenades on the soldiers were accomplices.
From the beginning of the formation of the joint forces, it can be said that it has become more difficult for them to get horses, and they were able to form several cavalry units because they plundered Liu Biao's horse farm. There was a group of war horses that Fang Yun had funded for Liu Biao.
It's just that this also directly depletes the war potential, and there are no more horses to produce, which means that after they have consumed this batch of horses, they will not be able to get more horses.
War is to fight logistics, and whoever can't hold on first will be unlucky first. At this point, the resources that can be mobilized by the united forces have completely bottomed out. Otherwise, they would not have fought hard with Fang Yunjun with the idea of breaking the boat.
"No!" Xiahoudun, who was in pursuit, felt the explosion behind him, and when he looked back, he immediately cried out in pain.
As a general, the most painful thing is the drastic reduction of the number of troops under his command. The death of 5,000 people and the consumption of a large number of grenades undoubtedly made this advance more difficult. If the responsibility is really to be calculated, he Xiahoudun should also be removed from the place.
Fortunately, Liu Bei did not remove him, after all, there is only one innate military general who can be used by his side, Xiahoudun, and he can't do everything himself as the main general. In desperation, he could only comfort: "It's not that the general is incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too cunning!" ”
However, the most speechless thing is. After leaving a distance, the remaining dozen or so tanks saw that Xiahoudun did not chase after them, so they quickly turned their guns and bombarded them again.
Fortunately, with the experience this time, everyone quickly dispersed, which prevented further casualties. But this is how it was adjusted. play, even normal people will be angry, let alone Liu Beibu, who has just killed more than 7,000 people.
"Charge!" Xiahoudun doesn't want anything now. I want to destroy the other party.
"Be careful!" Liu Bei persuaded him, but it didn't stop him from charging.
Actually, everyone knows it. If you let those tanks wander around like this, you may come back at some point. I don't know how much ammunition they have, even if they can shoot it once or twice, it will be unpleasant.
Sure enough, as Xiahoudun quickly approached, the tanks quickly retreated. Artillery is not suitable for firing too close. Let's not mention that there is no fire control in this era. Speaking of these tanks, there really aren't any more shells to fire.
Four shells, five hundred rounds, this is the basic equipment of the Tiger tank group in the charging state. After all, all that was needed to charge the battle was to fire at the beginning of the charge and the retreat, and the rest was to open the way by strafing machine gun fire.
If it's a tough battle. Then sixteen shells, a hundred rounds, can carry out eight shells. Of course, if the spirit engine is upgraded again in the future, the hull will be able to become larger, so that the ammunition loading will naturally be improved.
In a short time, the tanks came to the top of their own defensive line, which was the first line of defense line with barbed wire trenches, and even a minefield was laid in the front of the line, only the middle road was free of mines. The tanks quickly lined up in a straight line and returned to the rear of the line from this road.
Behind this line of defense, there are two other lines of defense, which are actually similar to this line of defense, except that the range of defense has been improved. In the final analysis, it is to prevent the enemy from bypassing this position and going directly to the rear.
"Over to you, stay safe!" When passing by the defensive position, Xu Le opened the car cover and came out and shouted.
"Got it! Leave it to me! Huang Xu, who had just been transferred here, replied, and then immediately threw himself into defense.
Originally, he was going to work hard by Huang Zhong's side, and the most important thing was that Fang Yun also hoped that Huang Zhong would be able to teach this son and give him advice on the battlefield.
Huang Zhong said that what Huang Xu really needed was the tempering of the battlefield, not the abnormal growth under his protection. As for home learning or something, he has instilled enough since he was a child, too much will only make Huang Xu lose his character and become another him.
If it could really become, Fang Yun really didn't mind, after all, Huang Zhong had spent most of his time cultivating in addition to dealing with military affairs over the years, and he was about to enter the middle innate stage, reaching 250 force points. If Huang Xu can be like him, that would be a good thing.
However, Fang Yun respected Huang Zhong's intentions, so he reassigned Huang Xu's position. Huang Xu meant that he hoped to become an officer of the armored division, so he was transferred to the armored division and became a company commander with a hundred people under his command, which was equivalent to the previous tun commander.
This position seems to be a demotion, but the company he is in is a heavy machine gun company, equipped with a real heavy machine gun, and there is a sniper squad that can shoot ammunition to more than 700 meters to snipe enemy generals. With this kind of configuration, an ordinary division can't please him, and Huang Xu also knows that he is a newcomer in this regard, and he is not dissatisfied with this treatment.
As Xu Le entered the third line of defense and dispatched in the center, Liu Bei and others also came to the vicinity of the position.
As far as the eye can see, there are barbed wire positions erected with wooden stakes, and a group of trenches behind the positions. The other party was obviously hiding in the trench, and occasionally the soldiers who came out of the probe could be seen.
"Hmph, did he think he would be able to block our way?" Xiahou sneered.
"That's not the case, if you look at the area in front of the position, it's obvious that the earth has been moved. Bei doesn't think that they are just idle and have nothing to do to rummage through the dirt, there must be fraud in it! By the way, didn't we collect some sheep along the way, which were originally intended to be used as military rations? Drive them all over and test the enemy's reality! Liu Bei thought about it and proposed.
"Good idea, let's do it!" Xiahoudun felt that Liu Bei was making a bit of a fuss, but he also echoed and went to arrange.
More than a hundred sheep were driven out and headed for enemy positions. It's just Huang Xu, it's impossible to let Liu Bei get their way!
The Heavy Machine Gun is adjusted to burst fire, which simply means that the automatic valve is turned off so that the Spirit does not automatically trigger, and then it starts firing at the flock. Heavy machine guns are naturally not as accurate as ordinary firearms, but it is still possible to shoot this group of lambs.
After shooting more than thirty of them, the lambs also quickly scattered in all directions, not daring to continue on. Animals have an instinct to survive, and when they realize that there is danger ahead, they will not continue to move forward.
"Sure enough, there is a fraud, there should be something buried in those grounds, try it with a grenade!" Xiahoudun suddenly cooperated with Liu Bei's foresight, and it was not difficult to see from the enemy's reaction that there was indeed something in the dirt in front of him.
Before Xiahoudun could give an order, he found something shooting towards him and Liu Bei. Xiahoudun almost subconsciously raised his hand to resist, but he didn't want it to be useless, and the flying thing directly penetrated his wrist. Fortunately, the power had dropped, and the shot at his helmet allowed him to escape.
However, the pain on his arm is real, but he doesn't care about the injury on his arm now, but Liu Bei's side.
Looking back, he found that Liu Bei had fallen off his horse, but fortunately, his sense of crisis was even stronger, and he quickly turned sideways to avoid the most dangerous blow. Another bullet was aimed at his heart, and he dodged it and shot him in the chest, but the armor managed to stop it.
"What magic weapon does the other party have?" Liu Bei was shocked, looking at the opponent's position and sighing.
Not only him and Xiahoudun, but other lieutenants were also sniped. As long as it was those who rode on the horses, they found the care of the snipers. The lack of horses in the coalition army is a matter of all knowledge, and such a general who can ride on a horse must also be a general. At the same time, the exquisite armor is also proving their identity.
These sniper rifles are not the kind of sniper crossbows, they are more penetrating, and taking the general's head at 700 meters is like probing for something. The role of the sniper crossbow is not used to snipe the enemy general, but to attack the enemy from a distance. The slender body of the arrow is actually a big disadvantage, the concealment is not good, and it is also more affected by the wind.
These sniper rifles, bullets are specially designed, and the bullets have piercing spirit on the body to increase the penetration of the bullets. The strong repulsion of the spirit can also make the bullet shoot farther, and the rifling design can also make the bullet fly more smoothly.
All of this can only be done with ultra-high industrial technology reserves, and the combined forces do not have this capability.
"It seems to be some kind of firegun, but it's much more powerful in range and power than ours. Damn, when I see these weapons, I just think that if our firecracker troops are not formed......" Xiahoudun couldn't help but say in frustration.
"No, this should be the future development trend of the firebolt, and we must study it...... But only if we survive this war! Do you have a way to deal with them? Liu Bei gritted his teeth and looked at the two military advisors.
"Yes!" Chen Gong shook his head, but Xun You gave a solution after thinking about it...... (To be continued.) )
