Chapter 951 Contest (Part 2)
"What a familiar scene, huh?"
On the left wing of the temporary position of the defense, two Russian soldiers from the Irish foreign corps crawled side by side in the bullet crater, with a mg-43 universal machine gun with two legs spreading on their feet in front of them. The two were wearing black leather gloves, the deputy shooter on the left holding a metal bullet chain, and the shooter on the right shoulder against the butt. While speaking, hundreds of Syrian infantry rushed over to face the dense gun bullets of the defense. Their spirit of indifference to death made the Jewish militia who had experienced actual combat for the first time frightened the Jewish militia who had been experiencing the first battle. However, for the Russian soldiers who had climbed through the pile of dead people, this approach was not only not worthy of admiration, but was ignorant. During World War I, during the Russian Revolutionary War, Russian soldiers rushed to the enemy's positions with their chests again and again, and were torn to pieces by gunfire again and again. The lesson of blood and tears made the elites among the defeated generals firmly remember them in their hearts.
The deputy saber with a thick beard turned his head and looked at his partner: "I still don't fire, I feel unbearable?"
The shooter with a thick scar on his right eyebrows curled his lips and chuckled, "What's the hurry? This German machine gun can kill all living things within 800 meters per minute with a shooting of 1,000 yuan per minute. The German 6th Army soldier manual clearly states that cross firepower is the tactic that can best wield machine gun power. Wait, wait for the enemy to enter the center of cross firepower..."
As the archer said, he gently closed his left eye and stared at the gap in the sight with his unlimited murderous right eye. His fingers were pressed against the trigger, calming his mind and saying nothing. After a moment, his body suddenly trembled, and the dense gunshot sounded like tearing apart linen immediately. Every time he shot, 20 bullets flew out, and hundreds of meters away, many Syrian infantry must have been shot.
If you shoot continuously, five seconds will be enough to shoot a 125-bullet chain. Even if you fire in a point-shot way, you will consume a whole chain in less than half a minute. The bearded snatcher looks a little old, but when it comes to changing the chain, his movements are no slower than those young men in their early twenties.
After the bullet chain was replaced, the shooter's right eye was narrowed, and his fingers pulled the trigger with a unique rhythm again. A series of bullets broke through the air, and in a flash, they took away one live life after another. After this, just a mg-43, two well-trained and experienced machine gunners, killed dozens of Syrian infantry who were attacking in the open area in just a few minutes. In addition, the mortar team that kept suppressing the shooting behind the position, the Syrians' desperate charge was like a wave hitting a strong embankment, and the horses fell into the ravines, and it was useless to let them bravely shake the sky.
The Syrian infantry fought to the death to attack the defending positions. How could the remaining Syrian combat vehicles and armored vehicles be kept in a row? However, the battle reached this fierce stage. The conventional tactical discipline had been left behind by the Syrian armored soldiers. Tanks could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. Armored vehicles rushed with the infantry. You can also see the situation of groups of infantry losing power as tactical support points. While paying huge casualties, the Syrian offensive forces did bring unprecedented impact to the defense. More than half of the Jewish militia fighting on the front line had been damaged, and many squads had almost lost their combat effectiveness. Although the soldiers of the "Nicolas" Battalion of the Irish foreign corps were elites, they were still flesh and blood. After a series of hard battles, two or three of the dead were killed, and many people were slightly injured and unable to leave the line of fire...
Accompanied by an inspiring rumbling roar, the "heavy infantry" on the defenders returned. On the turrets of the two vans, the red-eyed Jewish armored soldiers leaned out and fired at the Syrian army with the commander's machine gun, completely ignoring the stray bullets flying everywhere on the battlefield. Even the sophisticated and steady mercenaries as Frederick Anderson were also excited with the arrival of the battle.
"At 2 o'clock, 40 meters away, enemy chariots, armor-piercing bomb attack!" Anderson shouted vigorously in the noisy carriage.
The gunner Russer Christensen, who cooperated with him, immediately responded loudly: "Confirm the target, observe the distance of 45o, adjust the shooting angle, and attack the armor-piercing bomb!"
"The armor-piercing projectile has been loaded!" The loader reminded, "Apart from this, we still have 4 armor-piercing projectiles!"
Christensen frowned and focused on target. Seeing the enemy chariot in the scope stopping the shooting for a short time, he seized the opportunity to fire. With the intuitive feeling of an excellent shooter, he knew that these 75mm armor-piercing bombs would hit the target in almost every ten, but they were still far apart and the battle was fierce, so it was difficult to confirm the results.
After a short stop to shoot, the chariot rumbled forward. In the trembling carriage, Anderson shouted: "We hit it!"
Christensen stared at the scope, but did not see any signs of the enemy's chariot being destroyed, so he asked loudly: "Did you see it catch fire?"
"No, no, we hit its body, and the probability of breaking through this distance is about 5o%. "Anderson replied, "To be safe, let's give it another!"
"Okay, no problem!" Christensen shouted, "Ivey, load armor-piercing bullets! David, stop shooting for a short time!"
"We only have 4 armor-piercing bombs!" The Jewish loader reminded him again.
Anderson had almost no hesitation: "Then use them all!"
The young and strong loader quickly took out a capped armor-piercing bullet from the bullet frame, leaned against the wall of the car and loaded it into the barrel chamber, shouting "The armor-piercing bullet has been loaded", and the same young Jewish driver stopped his chariot.
When the chariot stopped, the crew clearly heard the jingle of the hard objects hitting the armor of the chariot. It might be the bullets that were intentionally or unintentionally shot by the enemy, or the shrapnel produced by the explosion of the shells. Judging from the combat methods of the Syrian army, the "Teutonic Knights" are the real threats to the "heavy infantry" fighting vehicles here.
When the target was determined to open fire, the target in the gunner's sight suddenly became a move, which shocked him and almost fired hastily. Fortunately, his nerves were strong enough. After two or three seconds, the Syrian chariot in the scope continued to rotate the turret, but did not aim the muzzle at this side, as if he was going to bombard the infantry anti-chariot team on the right wing of the position, thus exposing the side of the relatively weak turret!
The opportunity was rare. Christensen held his breath and fine-tuned the shooting angle. This state was like the last brewing of a diving athlete in front of the springboard. Everything was ready, and the chariots and artillery were thundering. In his sight, the Syrian chariots four hundred meters away suddenly turned into a ball of fireballs, and a large amount of thick smoke was still spreading, and the sound of deafening explosions had already been heard.
Seeing that the enemy's chariot was completely destroyed, Anderson and his crew couldn't help but shout "victory", but the real victory had not yet arrived. Only a short and sharp whistle sound was heard, and a shell suddenly landed near their chariot. The violent explosion was like an invisible fist hitting the chariot. Not to mention the loader and the driver who had just arrived on the battlefield were stunned. Even the experienced Anderson suddenly had a "close contact" with the car wall. Although he did not lose consciousness, his blood surged up and gave the driver an irrational command: "David, go all forward!"
At this time, the Syrian army that intends to break through the defending positions from the flanks is almost at the end of its strength, but its combat power is still stronger than the Jewish armed forces that are put into the blocking. Many combat vehicles, armored vehicles and four or five hundred infantry have advanced to the forefront of the defending positions. A small group of vanguards have crossed the area where anti-chariot mines are laid on the defense. If the chariot squad commanded by Anderson rashly comes forward, it will definitely be under the focus of the Syrian army. At a distance of three or four hundred meters, the "heavy infantry" cannot withstand the armor-piercing bomb attack of 6o 75mm cannons withstand the armor-piercing missile attack!
Unless the commander loses his command ability, the gunner generally does not interfere in the command affairs of the chariot. Therefore, until the chariot is about to pass through the forefront infantry defense position, Christensen reminds loudly: "Are we too far ahead?"
Unexpectedly, Anderson gritted his teeth and said, "No, let's use our brave counterattack to defeat the enemy's impact!"
Without being able to directly observe the position of your neighbor's chariot, Anderson issued a command to the entire chariot team to "Assault with me" via radio. At this moment, his cheeks turned red and his eyes widened, like a drunkard.
Through the gunner scope, Christensen was worried and hurriedly observing the battlefield ahead, where destroyed Syrian combat vehicles and armored vehicles were spread out on the ground. Some of them became charred due to explosions or fires. This was no longer combat-capable, while others were abandoned by the crew when they were penetrated or damaged. This was possible to re-enter the combat operation. Another was that the power system was damaged or malfunctioned, and the crew did not evacuate or partially evacuated. For the crew of the chariot, the latter two were "dangerous lurkers". Under conditions, cautious armored soldiers would use armor-piercing bombs to eliminate hidden dangers, or let their infantry go to inspect, but here, the vigilance and reaction of the crew of the chariot were only the vigilance and reaction of the crew...
"Lase, have you seen the enemy infantry at 11 o'clock? Suppress them with a machine gun!" Anderson roared.
Because of the unique design of the front of the motor, the "patrols", "heavy infantry" and later "Irish tigers" and "Irish leopards" made of Ireland have no forward machine guns. The auxiliary firepower on the front is composed of coaxial machine guns on the turret, commander machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. The two machine guns are located outside the cabin of the tank. Among them, the commander machine gun adopts mechanically conductive/electrically conductive remote control technology in the field of aviation, which allows the commander to shoot omnidirectionally without leaving the cabin, but when the bullet box is used, the commander machine gun uses mechanically conductive/electrically conductive remote control technology in the field of aviation, which allows the commander to shoot omnidirectionally without leaving the cabin.
After the bullets are completely destroyed, the commander must drill out of the hatch for manual loading, while the air-resistant machine gun located in front of the gunner hatch is purely manual control. This auxiliary firepower configuration is very ideal in theory and practice, but after actual combat, the Irish military adjusted their armored soldiers manual and related combat tutorials. The commander chose to use coaxial machine guns in battle and would use the commander machine gun when necessary. Only when it is absolutely necessary or the external threat is extremely low will the commander machine gun be used or the anti-aircraft machine gun be used.
Fortunately, since the "Celtic Warriors" designed and manufactured in the 20s, all Irish tanks have driven turrets with hydraulic or electric motors, so even heavy tanks have much faster rotation than those who simply drive turrets manually, and the effect of attacking coaxial machine guns is not bad. Christensen did not hesitate, and quickly turned the turret counterclockwise, lowered the muzzle slightly, and used a coaxial machine gun to sweep the Syrian infantry who tried to attack himself with German "Iron Fist" anti-armor grenade launchers into holes.
