Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1420 Ningbei Defense Battle

"What is that?" Major Jian Chi watched the monster appearing at the city gate through the binoculars and couldn't help exclaiming: "Is that a chariot?"

It does look like a tank, but Major Jian Chi has never seen such a tank: there are two gun barrels on the turret and the top is open, and the firing rate of the gun barrels is much faster than that of ordinary tank guns , the artillery shells hit out like machine gun bullets "bang bang", pressing the imperial army to the ground in an instant and unable to lift their heads. If someone was directly hit, they would be beaten to pieces in an instant, and there was no time to make a sound.

Major Jian Chi was right in one thing at least. The rate of fire of the M19 is indeed comparable to that of a machine gun... The actual rate of fire of the devil's crooked machine gun is 120 rounds per minute, and the M19 anti-aircraft gun used on the M1 happens to have this rate of fire. It's just that it's a dual mount, that is, the two guns are put together, and the rate of fire immediately doubles to 240 rounds per minute.

The rate of fire of the gun can catch up with the machine gun, and what is fired is not a bullet but a shell. How terrifying can this be on the battlefield?The devil has realized it today!

What's even more powerful is that these shells are equipped with time-delay fuzes... If the shells used for air defense are proximity fuzes, they are unnecessary and cannot be used to attack infantry. Proximity fuzes are equipped with small radars that can detect targets Yes, people cannot be targeted by the radar and therefore cannot function.

Therefore, the third anti-aircraft artillery regiment is equipped with two types of shells: proximity fuze and delay fuze.

The former is used for air defense and the latter is used for infantry combat.

The delay fuzes for infantry battles are all set before the battle, and the time goes from long to short and then from short to long, and it goes round and round.

Needless to say why it is set up like this.

In the beginning, the explosion time was set to be long, considering that there would be many devils standing and charging as soon as they entered the field, and setting the fuze time to a long time would be able to "string" as many charging enemies as possible.

This is indeed the case. The killing efficiency of the M19 is particularly high when it shows up. A row of shells passed by and the devils were smashed one by one.

It's not hard to imagine that the devil will lie on the ground reflexively... This is the standard action of all veterans who have fought in battle, which can minimize the probability of being hit by the enemy's firepower.

However, this is not the case now...

M1 is an anti-aircraft gun, and anti-aircraft guns usually damage aircraft with shrapnel, and M1 is no exception.

I saw clouds of black smoke exploding above the devil's head, shrapnel flying everywhere from top to bottom, and still hitting the devil's head closely, the hit rate was almost 100% wherever it passed.

And because most of the devils couldn't die for a while after being hit by shrapnel, there was a wailing sound on the battlefield immediately.

Some of the devils had already rushed close to throw grenades, but were quickly swept to the ground by the machine guns in front of the M19.

It was an external Type [-] machine gun.

The so-called "external" means that the machine gun is installed outside the tank chassis and the machine gunner sticks his head out of the tank to shoot.

This is indeed very dangerous, but it is not easy to modify a built-in machine gun in a short period of time... The equipment of the eagle sauce has a characteristic, its internal space is often used reasonably, and it is not easy to add a machine gun every now and then.

In addition, if a hole is forcibly drilled in front of the tank chassis to add a built-in machine gun, there may be many situations such as insufficient sight line and blocked shooting angle.

Wang Xuexin didn't think much about it, so he simply welded a machine gun mount on the outside of the tank body and put it outside.

However, Wang Xuexin added a shield to the machine gun, so it is difficult for ordinary rifles to hurt the machine gunner.

The task of this machine gun is to make up for the fact that the M[-] anti-aircraft gun has more power but less accuracy.

To put it simply, the M1 dual-mounted anti-aircraft gun is responsible for "plowing the ground" in the general direction, while the Type [-] machine gun is for precise strikes against threatening enemies.

As the precision strike unit on the M19, all the machine gunners who can be selected are veterans who have been fighting machine guns for several years. They know how to fight to maximize the lethality of the machine guns. The machine guns in their hands sometimes fire bursts. , The devils who rushed forward screamed and fell in a pool of blood one by one.

After "ravaging" the devils in the front, under the cover of the infantry, the M19 turned the barrel to the devils who were attacking up the city wall on both sides of the city gate...

This time the situation was even worse than fighting head-on. The devils' attacking crowd formed a slope from the flat ground in front of the ruins of the city wall. The devils originally planned to rush into the city for close combat, so they adopted a dense formation. There are densely packed people all over the face.

The shells of the M19 antiaircraft gun hit the turning point of the slope at the right time, and exploded piece by piece.

Shock waves, shrapnel, and artillery shells automatically stacked back and forth under the action of the delayed fuze, and the machine guns also fired crazily at crowded places... After a while, the city and the city turned blood red amidst the wailing.

Major Jian Chi watched helplessly as his subordinates were harvested under the terrifying firepower of this "monster" but there was nothing he could do, and judging from the sound of gunfire, it was not just in one direction.

In fact, devils from all directions are reporting for help, but at this moment, Major Jian Chi has no energy to pay attention to these.

"Artillery!" Major Jian Chi hesitated for a while, then shouted hoarsely at the staff: "Immediately order the artillery to destroy all these chariots!"

"Yes!" The staff officer responded and gave an order to the artillery over the phone.

The Devils Bicycle Brigade brought a total of three infantry guns.

Usually the bicycle brigade is equipped with only one infantry gun.

But Shao Zuo Jianchi believed that this mission was to siege the city and the artillery had a decisive effect on the siege... In case something happened to the missile force of the Empire, for example, it was dispatched during the day and was intercepted by the Eighth Route Army fighter jets, or it was intercepted by the Eighth Route Army anti-aircraft missiles.

At this time, if there are not enough infantry to attack the towers and walls, no amount of infantry will be effective!

On the other hand, Major Jian Chi considered that the destination of this mission was only more than 100 kilometers away.

This distance can be interspersed in place in just a few hours, that is, the imperial army hardly needs to bring additional dry food besides ammunition, and bicycles have a considerable carrying capacity...Each bicycle can hold 34 kilograms of ammunition, infantry guns The shell is only 7.6 catties, and it does not put much pressure on the infantry to carry it.

So Jian Chi took Sanmen out of precaution.

At this moment, Jian Chi was glad that he had done the right thing. One infantry artillery was obviously not enough to kill all the enemy's tanks, but three infantry artillery could give it a go.

Soon, the staff officer reported: "Your Excellency, the artillery is ready!"

Without even thinking about it, Jian Chi ordered: "Fire!"

"Boom boom boom" A few shells passed by and an M19 was shrouded in the smoke of the shells.

Jian Chi nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the artillerymen of the empire, they can hit the first shot by feeling without test firing. It won't take long to fight like this...

However, as soon as Jian Chi's thoughts came up, there was a piercing scream in the air...
