Chapter 631: Battle of Nullarbor Armor (Part II)


s: Sorry, something happened at home yesterday.

Will make up for it today.

May 10, 1941, AD 2782, Nullarbor Plain, Australia.

The main forces of both sides are approaching rapidly.

If you look at it from the satellite, you can see that two groups of thousands of tanks are charging towards each other.

However, just when the distance between the two sides approached 30 kilometers, part of the group of tanks to the west suddenly stopped and then quickly spread out.

Then, thousands of fire dragons rose into the sky and flew towards the group of chariots in the east at a speed exceeding sound.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish" accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, 132mm and 212mm rockets flew towards the enemy tank group like a swarm.

These are three rocket launcher battalions under the 11th Armored Division and the 109th Mechanized Infantry Division, with a total of 54 self-propelled rocket launchers.

They fired 1,440 130 mm rockets and 324 212 mm rockets at the enemy within 20 seconds.

The H-6 "Blizzard" 132mm tracked self-propelled rocket launcher and the H-7 "Steel Rain" 212mm tracked self-propelled rocket launcher are the latest two types of rocket launchers installed by the Chinese Army.

"Blizzard" is a 40-tube rocket launcher with a maximum range of 30 kilometers.

"Steel Rain" is an 18-barrel rocket launcher with a maximum range of 42 kilometers.

These two kinds of rocket launchers can cover an area of ​​more than one square kilometer with a single salvo.

The firepower is extremely fierce, so they are also called "square kilometer sweepers."

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," more than a thousand rocket launchers fell into the group of Australian tanks like a blizzard, and most of the team was immediately surrounded by the smoke and fire of the explosion.

Rocket launchers are not very effective against heavily armored targets such as tanks, but they are very effective against lightly armored and unarmored targets such as self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, and military vehicles.

Yes, the main target of this rocket attack was not the tank group as the main armor, but the Australian army's various artillery and armored vehicles, including anti-aircraft artillery.

This was also the plan set by the Chinese army from the beginning.

When it comes to tank battles, China is not afraid at all.

Even the zero-range shooting of the Australian Army's most powerful 7 heavy tanks cannot penetrate the front of the red panda, regardless of whether it uses armor-piercing or armor-piercing bullets.

Even armor-breaking bullets are ineffective, not to mention the stronger giant panda. 7 You have to get closer to within 300 meters to have any hope. 7 The possibility of getting around the side and back of the panda is probably more difficult than penetrating the front.

But those accompanying cannons are just annoying.

Due to the influence of China, various aviation technologies in this plane are generally about ten years higher than the same period in the original plane.

In contrast, the emphasis is on air defense.

Nowadays, all countries are trying their best to strengthen their air defense.

Especially in the mechanized troops, which are the aces of each country, they are trying their best to pack anti-aircraft guns, as if they don't need money.

There are as many anti-aircraft guns in a division as leeks in the field. .

For example, the Second Australian Mechanized Army in front of us has thousands of towed and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in various sizes from 20 mm to 90 mm, as well as a larger number of anti-aircraft machine guns.

This is an important reason why China is currently slow to develop professional armed helicopters, and it is also an important reason why it did not dispatch armed helicopters to attack the opponent at the beginning of this battle.

If these anti-aircraft guns are not cleared, wouldn't the helicopters die if they go over there?

Helicopters are good, but their shortcomings are also very big.

What they fear most are small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

These things pose a greater threat to it than missiles.

Because facing missiles, they can still rely on ultra-low altitude to dodge, but there is no way to hide from anti-aircraft artillery, and their weak armor cannot withstand the blow of anti-aircraft artillery.

And even if the fuselage can bear it, the propellers can't.

This thing has no armor.

In addition to clearing anti-aircraft firepower, there is also the destruction of the Australian army's long-range artillery, especially large-caliber heavy artillery.

The threat of the Australian heavy artillery to the panda is even greater than that of their heavy tanks.

Although the heavy artillery cannot penetrate the panda's armor, their heavy shells can easily destroy the panda's mobile devices, observation systems and other external equipment. .

If it is a close range or direct hit, the powerful shock wave will damage the equipment inside the tank and even kill the crew inside.

Other than that, it's just about killing the opponent's rocket launchers.

Rocket launchers are not high-tech to begin with.

Rocket launchers on this plane appeared in China before World War I.

After the advent of this weapon, it attracted the attention of various countries.

Over the years, various countries have developed a variety of rocket launchers. .

Kangaroo has built several types of them himself, and now that it has received US aid, there is no shortage of things like rocket launchers.

Rocket launchers are also quite a threat, so of course they must be destroyed first.

As for the secondary targets such as infantry, they are just chasing hay and hunting rabbits, incidentally.

After the rocket launcher fired a salvo, the ammunition truck behind them hurried forward to replenish ammunition for them.

Both rocket launchers have automatic loading systems.

After docking with the ammunition truck on both sides, it only takes two and a half minutes to transport the spare ammunition to the place at one time.

It is very convenient to replenish ammunition.

"Swish swish swish swish" Four minutes later, the rocket launcher unit, which had obtained the latest parameters of the target, made slight adjustments and fired another salvo.

After finishing this round, they quickly moved forward.

Although the intelligence says that no artillery of the Australian army can hit this distance, it is better to be cautious.

A few minutes later, when the distance between the two sides narrowed to 20 kilometers, the Chinese self-propelled artillery group also stopped and opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," more than two hundred heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of 130 mm or more roared.

This is the combat style of the Chinese army, which has always believed in the doctrine of big explosions.

Whether it is tanks or infantry, as long as there is a chance, artillery will clear the ground first, and then blow it up first.

Therefore, the tactics of the Chinese Army have been criticized by traditional military experts around the world.

They believe that the battles fought by the Chinese have no beauty at all.

Just use a lot, more, a crazy amount of artillery fire and bombs to overwhelm the opponent, and then push forward in a straight line.

There is no clever plan that makes people shine.

But Wen Desi and the military bosses regarded these accusations as fart, because this is war in the industrialized era.

This is great skill without work, returning to nature.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," dense artillery shells fell like raindrops, and there were already countless vehicle wreckage in the Australian army.

Many of the majestic mechanized legions a few minutes ago had now turned into broken steel parts, twisted barrels, and indistinguishable flesh and blood.

"Asshole, are the artillerymen just for the taking?

Why don't you fight back?"

"Where are our cannons?

Where are our cannons?"

Countless angry roars rang out on the Australian military channel.

"The range of our artillery is insufficient.

The first thing the Chinese artillery attacks is our artillery.

Now we have lost more than 90% of our towed artillery and about 70% of our self-propelled artillery."

Chief of Staff Brigadier General Herbert Durant reported with an ugly face. road.

Lieutenant General Alvin McKay, commander of the group army, looked ashen.

He was no stranger to the combat methods of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

As early as the 1920s, Australia regarded this behemoth in the north as its number one imaginary enemy, and the study of their strategies and tactics was naturally a top priority.

Heavy.

But no matter how good the analysis is on paper, it is not as good as actually doing it.

Now Lieutenant General McKay has deeply felt that even though he has done a lot of preparations, he still seems to have underestimated his opponent.

Lieutenant General McKay twitched the corners of his eyes and said with difficulty: "Damn it, how could their artillery fire be so accurate?"

"I don't know."

Brigadier General Durant said that he couldn't understand it either.

At this time, the Australian officers and soldiers were immersed in helplessness and panic, while the Chinese commanders opposite them were celebrating.

"I really didn't expect that our guided munitions are so easy to use and can achieve such a high hit rate against moving targets.

You see, in these two rounds, most of the opponent's artillery was wiped out.

Hahahaha" Xu, commander of the 11th Armored Division Major General Chen laughed.

The result of the victory just now made him very happy.

"Yes, it is indeed easy to use, but it is a bit expensive.

One guided munition is used as four or five rounds of ordinary ammunition," Brigadier General Jiang Qianyu, commander of the 109th Mechanized Infantry Division, said with a smile.

"Four or five rounds of ordinary ammunition cannot achieve this effect, or even ten rounds, so it is still cost-effective," said Zuo Bingde, political commissar of the 11th Armored Division.

"Okay, let's fire another volley of rocket launchers, and then we'll start the next step of the air strike."

Seeing that the strike effect was so good, Xu Chen immediately ordered the army aviation directly under him to dispatch.

"Buzz buzz" The explosion of the artillery shells was suddenly joined by the roar of an engine.

I saw a large group of fly-like black spots emerging from the sky. 18 Z-10 "Tiger Armor" armed helicopters and 134 Z-9 "Giant Kata" armed transport helicopters appeared, charging towards the Australian army with murderous intent. go.

"It's Chinese helicopters preparing for air defense."

The Australian army is not aborigines who have never seen the world.

They knew at a glance that China was going to launch an air strike.

But they soon became embarrassed.

Under the violent storm of artillery fire just now, their anti-aircraft firepower suffered heavy losses.

Nonsense, the main targets of China's rocket launchers and heavy artillery just now were these anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

The helicopter ignored the Australian tanks at the front and fired directly at the surviving self-propelled artillery, mainly the remaining anti-aircraft guns.

They must first ensure their own safety.

These anti-aircraft guns pose the greatest threat to them, so they must be removed first.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish," the helicopter's short wings flashed with fire, and more than a hundred anti-tank missiles flew out.

The heavy artillery and anti-aircraft artillery that had survived several rounds of artillery fire could no longer hold up and turned into burning wreckage
