Chapter 969: It's Not What It Used To Be
In the morning, the sun will soon jump out of the ground, and the white fog in the valley will quickly dissipate in the light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen Zhou Qingfeng completed an assault and turned the body, the situation on the battlefield was already undoubted.
The U.S. troops on the top of Gutuli Mountain held binoculars and could clearly see the killing scene two or three kilometers away. It was a hellish road, the road was full of wrecked vehicles, and there were a lot of corpses under the constant black smoke. And it's just a tank that makes all this.
"Oh my God! This is almost the total annihilation of the armored battalion, and it was beaten so badly? ”
"The enemy's tank is a new model, which has never been seen in the past."
"Look at that main gun, and its armor, it's no wonder that the armored detachment of 'Drysdale' can't resist it, its performance is definitely better than the 'Pershing' we are currently using."
In addition to being surprised, the American troops watching the play on the hill were asking: What should we do?
But after thinking about it silently, everyone realized that they couldn't do anything. Because there are still many American soldiers on the battlefield, shelling with howitzers will only injure their own people by mistake - although those own people are likely to experience another abuse soon.
Sure enough, ......, the IS-7, which turned the body, exerted its strength again from the other side, and the heavy body was pushed by strong power to soar at high speed again. The American soldiers who had been hiding here had to rush to the other side in a panic, and some of them were inevitably killed by machine guns.
The rest of the 'Pershing' in front of them was the worst, as the IS-7 had just passed them and had already demonstrated their superior firepower, armor and maneuverability. Now that the Killing God has run back again, he definitely didn't come to greet them, and he can't escape.
"Turn the car around, turn the car right away."
"We can't penetrate the front of it, we should go behind it."
"Hell, we're stuck in this road."
At present, the dirt road called 'Long Pass' is very narrow, and under the raid, there are vehicle wrecks in front and behind, and the two ends can only pass through the hillside of the road. However, the M26 'Pershing', which weighs more than 40 tons, has good armor, but its power is only 500 horsepower, and its mobility is weak, far inferior to that of the IS-7.
After watching the slow 'Pershing' want to divide into two teams to outflank his flank, Zhou Qingfeng directly ordered to open fire during the start. The tank's vertical stabilizer prevented the gun from swinging sharply, and a 'Pershing' at the rear of the line was instantly destroyed after a shot was fired at close range.
The flying parts made the other 'Pershing' commanders completely mad, and no one wanted to wait for death like this. Their gunners had tried their best to bombard the IS-7, but the tank's frontal armor with a large inclination was too thick and the steel used was too good to penetrate a 90-millimeter tank gun.
The front armor of the IS-7 could not penetrate even its own 130 mm caliber main gun, and the benefit of its more than 60-ton hull was that it was strong to the point of perversion!
Seeing this never-before-seen steel beast approaching quickly, some 'Pershing' struggled to the death, and naturally they were blasted into scrap metal. Some of the 'Pershing' crews simply abandoned the cars and fled, hoping to save their lives.
Zhou Qingfeng's seven shells only knocked out four of them, and he found that the remaining seven 'Pershing' were abandoned in front of his eyes. Only two of the seven were damaged by bombs dropped by their crews, while the other five remained intact.
......, the IS-7 machine gunner strafed the American tankmen fleeing to the side of the road on the turret. Zhou Qingfeng also emerged from the turret, and after scanning the surroundings, he immediately ordered: "Go and a few people to check these tanks, and those who can drive away will drive away immediately." We took the opportunity to expand. ”
In order to reserve tankers, Zhou Qingfeng stuffed eight crew members in the IS-7. Although there is a lot of space in the car after the transformation, so many people are crowded to death. This time, five people went out, and the air in the turret was fresher.
"Turn the turret around, change the grenade for me." Zhou Qingfeng gave an order, and the artillery commander immediately pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of Tuguli, "Aim 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 getting out safely -- the U.S. artillery in the ancient soil can chase you all the way by shooting at others, and you will be out of your body by the way.
However, artillery observation posts are required for occasional shooting!
Seeing the enemy's super heavy tank in front of him crushing an armored battalion, the American troops on the hill were shocked and angry. Someone had already reported the coordinates to the artillery in their ring position on the radio, and they wanted to give Zhou Qingfeng a happy revenge, but Zhou Qingfeng's anger poured out first.
The IS-7 used a naval gun as the main gun, and this cannon, numbered S-70, was later modified as the M-46 cannon. Do you still remember that Zhou Qingfeng used to bombard a US destroyer before, using an M-46 cannon?
Zhou Qingfeng spent 100 million yuan to build a tank, but it was impossible for the Bingzhou Tractor Factory to build a few guns for him, so he pulled ready-made artillery for him to modify. Huaxia introduced the technology of the M-46 cannon and produced the 59 series cannon - this 59 is not a tank.
Although it is impossible to use the advanced ammunition after 50 years, the ordinary grenade with a caliber of 130 mm is already extremely powerful. Zhou Qingfeng also specially used an air-blown fuze shrapnel to explode a range of more than 100 meters, and no one could survive within 30 meters.
A single shrapnel can destroy half of the mountain, and the US troops, who were originally standing on the top of the mountain to watch the excitement, were immediately hit and fell in pieces by surprise. Many people were shattered by the four-shot projectiles, and the ferocity and viciousness of the shrapnel were definitely beyond the expectations of the US military.
You must know that the volunteers have never used such powerful ammunition on the battlefield in the past, most of them use mortars of 82 and 60 mm caliber, and the firepower is almost none. Only the US military used 105 or even 155 caliber shells to bombard the volunteers.
"Now it's his turn to meow the Yankees, Lao Tzu specially prepared it for you." Seeing the tragic situation of the U.S. troops in the periscope, Zhou Qingfeng laughed furiously and savagely. On the battlefield, he absolutely dehumanized.
There are two main hills to the north of Tuguri that serve as artillery observation posts, both of which are frequented by IS-7 shrapnel shells one after the other. Compared with a simple grenade that can be dodged by hiding in a trench, a shrapnel that scatters projectiles in the air makes people have no way to dodge and can only die.
The American artillery in the Tuguri floodplain also received the news of the destruction of the armored detachment, and they had been waiting for a covering fire according to the coordinates given by the observation post. Colonel Puller, who commanded the American forces in Tukri, was not even willing to commit only a howitzer battery and pulled out a heavy mortar battalion.
Coordinates, coordinates, tell the coordinates quickly...... the commanders of the artillery were waiting for information in front of the radio, but what they were waiting for was the rustle of the radio and the roar of the explosion of shrapnel on the top of the mountain. The two hills were completely covered in a short period of time, and those who knew the mountains with their knees would definitely not be able to escape.
When the black smoke rising from the top of the mountain rushed into the sky, and the American troops below the mountain were in a collective daze, even Colonel Puller himself had a trace of doubt in his heart - was it the yellow monkeys who were poor and weak in the past who were fighting with us? How do you feel like they're even better?
