Chapter 1351 90mm towed anti-aircraft gun

After a week of adjustment and supplementation, Rommel launched a large-scale attack on Fortress Martruck again, and this time it was a three-dimensional battle between sea, land and air.

That's right, a week ago, Rommel gathered heavy troops to launch a strong attack on Fortress Martrude, using almost all combat aircraft and nearly half of the ground armored troops.

But unfortunately, under Yang Fan's command, the Allied forces must fight for every inch of land. Both the air force and the ground defense forces fought extremely resolutely and decisively, and finally successfully resisted the crazy attack of the Axis African Legion.

In view of this situation, Rommel had a bold idea, which was to organize a three-dimensional battle in sea, land and air, to smash it with more powerful attack power, destroy the defensive power of the Martru Fortress, and to overcome the biggest obstacle on the road ahead at any cost.

After receiving a large amount of technical equipment again, and mobilizing the Italian naval fleet to the port of Tobrook, Libya, the second Battle of Martruck finally started.

At three o'clock this morning, before dawn, the German-Italy coalition bomber group took off from the Tobrook Fortress Airport and launched an unprecedentedly large-scale bombing of the Fortress Martruck.

When the enemy bomber group flew over the fortress, anti-aircraft artillery groups on various positions in the Fortress of Matrus launched a resolute counterattack without hesitation.

The powerful anti-aircraft firepower network formed by more than 400 88mm anti-aircraft guns and m1a1      90mm towed anti-aircraft guns are interwoven into dazzling bullet lines, dividing the dark night sky into countless small pieces.

The buzzing sound of the motor, the sharp whistle and rumbling cannons when the bomb fell, and the earth-shaking explosions suddenly became the main themes between heaven and earth, constantly provoking the nervous systems of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us.

Knowing that Rommel would never give up his pursuit of Fortress Martruck because of a setback in an attack, the German tanks would never stop like this. So Yang Fan took advantage of the confrontation in the past few days and sent a strong construction team to urgently repair and reinforce Fortress Martruck.

In addition, Yang Fan also put all the 88mm anti-aircraft guns in stock at the Martru Fortress. Even the freshly arrived American m1a1        90mm towed anti-aircraft guns, forming a powerful ground air defense firepower of more than 400 anti-aircraft guns.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the main anti-aircraft guns in the United States were 3                                                                                                                   �

So in 1940, the m1    90mm anti-aircraft gun was designed, and after modification in May 1941, it became an m1a1    90mm towed anti-aircraft gun.

The gun weighs 8.618 tons, has an initial velocity of 823m/s, a rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, a maximum effective horizontal range of 17,823m, and a maximum shooting height of 10,380m.

After combat improvement in May 1943, it was transformed into m2. The main change was to increase the dive angle and have the ability to fight against tanks. An electric rafter protects the gunner's shield and firefighting computer, making m290mm one of the best anti-aircraft guns in the United States during World War II.

Later, the gun evolved into the main gun of the m36 expulsion tank and the m26 Pershing tank, as well as the main gun of the m26a1 and m46 "Barton", and was also used in coastal defense for anti-torpedo boats.

The Yangfan system shopping mall has actually unlocked this m1a1    90mm towed anti-aircraft gun, as well as the more advanced m2    90mm anti-aircraft gun.

However, from the data, in addition to the faster firing speed of the 90mm anti-aircraft gun, the maximum effective horizontal range is three kilometers long, and it does not have an advantage in other aspects. It is even much worse than the 88mm anti-aircraft gun in terms of the initial velocity of the shells.

Therefore, Yang Fan did not consider purchasing 90mm anti-aircraft guns to replace 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Anyway, the United States can produce continuously, at least on the African battlefield, which can leverage its strength.

It is also thanks to the timely arrival of the United States' 90mm anti-aircraft guns and new combat aircraft, otherwise it would be really hard to do with the 88mm anti-aircraft guns and Mustang fighters in Yang Fan's hands.

There is no way. You can't cheat in a supernatural way under everyone's noses. This is the principle set by the system.

The planes, tanks and cannons that he urgently transported from the Myanmar War Zone will take about a week to reach the Suez Canal in Egypt.

But Rommel wouldn't give himself this time. He had just had a week off and started to make trouble again.

Operation room of Cairo Allied North African Theater Command.

After learning that the radar station had detected a large number of planes to attack the Matru Fortress, Yang Fan got up as soon as possible and came to the Allied Command.

At the same time, Stilwell, Wang Liguo, Patton, O'Ginlake and others naturally couldn't continue to sleep with peace of mind. Not long after, they all came to the war room in a daze.

"Oh, Shet! Are these damn German guys finished? They have been quiet for a few days now, and they are here again!"

I don’t know if it was because of the overwork last night or the stress that was too high recently, O’Ginlek walked into the war room with a tired look on his face and kept yawning, looking a little angry.

"General Okinlek, have a cup of coffee to cheer up."

Stilwell reached out and picked up a cup of freshly baked coffee, handed it to O'Kinlek with a smile on his face, "It must be a matter of time sooner or later. As long as the Mediterranean sea control is still in the hands of the Axis army, they will not give up on Egypt."

"Oh, three grams of oil."

Okinlek quickly took the coffee and nodded at Stilwell, "Those damn Germans, don't even let us have Christmas and New Year, God will definitely punish them!"

"Evil does not suppress righteousness, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, which is inevitable and necessary!"

Yang Fan smiled and continued, "But we can't wait for God to punish those war criminals. After all, we have to punish them by ourselves, right?"

"General Yang Fan, you are right. Since those war madmen want to perish themselves, we must destroy them on behalf of justice!"

Okinlek smiled and nodded, "As long as we can block this crazy attack from the Axis army, it will definitely cause them a heavy blow.

After this battle, I believe they will be honest for a long time."

Patton smiled and continued, "That's right, so the most important thing is to win this war beautifully, completely defeat their spirits, and then it's time for us to launch a strong counterattack."

After waves of rhythm, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed and pleasant. Even if no substantial problems were solved, at least they were not as serious and nervous as before.

After chatting for a few words, Okinleke asked seriously: "General Yang Fan, this time the Axis army used the three armies of navy, army and air force. It seems that they are determined to win. Fortress Martruck cannot be lost.
