Rise of the Wasteland

The smoke cleared and the iron wings of the US navy and air force began to rule the sky.

The losses in Gutuli have been counted. The armored unit responsible for supporting the 'Drysdale Detachment' was swept away, losing 17 tanks, losing more than 40 armored vehicles and trucks, and causing more than 100 casualties.

These losses were nothing in a battle, but it happened in less than ten minutes, and the opponent was just an enemy tank. What if there are more such tanks? Do you run away together?

Colonel Pooler has reported the situation to the First Marine Division and the Tenth Army Headquarters. The superior has not yet responded, and it is estimated that it has been extremely noisy. He himself climbed up a hill in the ring position in ancient soil to inspect the artillery observation post destroyed by shelling.

Several torn corpses were frozen in the cold wind, which was only part of the casualties. The military uniform of the corpse was very damaged and there were many holes in the gray skin. A soldier handed several arrow-shaped projectiles in his hand and said, "It is this thing that killed more than twenty people at the observation post."

After receiving the distorted projectile, Colonel Pooler immediately felt the wickedness of this thing. Its shape allows it to fly at a higher speed, and it will continue to distort after being injected into the human body, resulting in an unhealable wound, and it will be killed if it is hit.

Another officer said: "We initially estimated that an enemy's grenade can cover an area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters, and at least more than 6,000 arrow-shaped projectiles flew out.

If you push back, you can find that the enemy's main gun has a diameter of more than 120 millimeters. A typical Soviet tank, heavy armor, high mobility, and the main gun is extremely powerful. "

Colonel Pooler came to the veritable "Hell Road" two kilometers away. Where were the wrecked vehicles parked, and several engineering troubleshooting vehicles were dragging them aside. After all, no matter whether it is support or evacuation, the road must be kept clear.

"According to our close observation at the time, this tank was equipped with two different artillery side by side. The thick one was so powerful that our 'Pershing' frontal armor was unable to resist and was easily destroyed."

A tank captain showed Colonel Pooler a wrecked 'Pershing'. The 'Pershing' had a hole in its front armor and the steel armor plate was twisted like dough. Behind the armor plate was a desolate sight. The bodies of several crew members had been removed, and they all died terribly.

Ordinary trucks were destroyed by machine guns, and armored vehicles were destroyed by forty millimeter secondary guns. For example, an M3 semi-tracked personnel carrier was penetrated by a small-caliber armor-piercing projectile. The steel plate in front of the cab did not play any protective role. The US military officers and men present were extremely frustrated.

"This is a tank we have never encountered before. It is much more powerful than the T-34-85 equipped by Beibei before." Pershing "is not an opponent at all. The 90mm main gun is like a jingling gun in front of it. Break through the frontal armor of the opponent, not to mention 'Sherman'.

Maybe let m46 ‘Barton’ try it. However, until there is no solution, our tank soldiers do not want to encounter this tank again. There is only one road here, and it is not suitable for circuitous operations. The terrain is very unfavorable to us. "

The words of the officer made Colonel Pooler frown. 'Batton' is the best tank in the United States at present, but its main gun is also only 90 mm in diameter. It may not be better than 'Pershing'. "We need to be more A powerful tank is stronger than the enemy. "

It can be said that it is easier to do, but the US military currently does not have a tank against the IS-7 at all. And even if there is a design that can compete with it, the tank will not be shipped from the factory to the battlefield immediately.

It must be known that although the U.S. military had a weak military strength before, it had an absolute advantage in firepower. Now it seems that there are signs of change. This is very worrying. There are powerful naval and air force planes to take care of it during the day, but at night ..., waiting to be beaten?

"What's the situation with 'Drysdale Squad'?" Colonel Pooler asked again.

The staff member immediately responded, "The backup armored unit failed to keep up. We have lost contact with the" Drysdale Detachment. "Air Force aircraft said that the detachment could not retreat on a road surrounded six kilometers ahead. Tonight. "

That ’s good. The ‘Drysdale detachment’ was originally to assist the Marine Division I Division in front of it, but now it ’s losing itself. This is the establishment of an enhanced battalion. More than a thousand people are considered to be fleeing. There are only more than 2,000 US troops in ancient soil.

What is more disturbing is that there is a powerful tank assistance. Will the volunteers who have been defending and blocking the fight actively attack the ancient soil? This is what really caused Colonel Pooler a headache.

At the other end of the battlefield, before Zhou Qingfeng led his team out of the battlefield and returned to the battlefield, the head of the 178th regiment he belonged to was thunderous. I heard that the small platoon leader of the regiment's tank platoon led the team at night to find the US military to get diesel. His first reaction was that this guy had a problem in his brain.

And finally, the people in the tank platoon drove home with more than a dozen cars, eating, drinking, and a lot of scarce cotton clothes. The platoon deputy said nothing and took a tank to rescue the small platoon leader who had not returned. None of this was reported to any leaders of the League Headquarters, nor was it approved!

"Unorganized, undisciplined, what a bit of a revolutionary warrior?" The regiment leader was so angry ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ that he wanted to use this tank, which was hard to come by, as a fixed fire point. Anyone who has seen is-7 is impressed by its thick pipes, but they know that these grandchildren are not at all obedient.

"A bunch of junkies, it's great to drive a tank? Later, the American plane came, what do they do?" The commander was distressed by the tanks, which are said to be the latest Soviet goodies, and lost one. may not.

"Leader, this batch of US military coats can be of great use. I have more than 300 sets. I sent them to the frontline soldiers, and everyone said yes. It's too few, if we can get some more All right."

The political commissar in the regiment came over with a smile on his face and kept boasting about the materials transported back from the tank.

Speaking of cotton clothes, the head of the regimen couldn't stretch his face. At present, the entire Nine Corps lacks warm clothing, and any cotton coat is extremely valuable. The tank platoon leader Zhou Qingfeng not only got cotton clothes, but also gloves and shoes.

With these things, the soldiers' hands and feet can move and fight. You know that American gloves and cotton shoes are really light and warm!

Hearing that the political commissar still wanted to seize it, the regiment leader was angry, "How can the Americans fight so well? This Marine Division is really a wicked one. The will to fight is very strong, and it is more troublesome than other US troops. That 'Drysdale detachment' has not been played for a day. "

The head of the regiment also wanted to talk about his feelings about the US Army's first division in the past two days, but his serviceman suddenly ran with a lot of laughter and shouted cheeringly: "Leader, we are rich. Our tank platoon Another batch of loot was obtained, and this time the American tanks were driven back. "

Got something good again? Hmm ..., it looks like this tank platoon is really a bit amazing!
