Chapter 56 Nimitz's Counterattack (10,2100
Of course, the US military does not believe that m26 or m26/sp can overwhelm the Tiger. There are other products that are in opposition to the Tiger.?≠
The t29 uses a 1o5mm/65-diameter tank gun and a 77o horsepower motor, with a total weight exceeding 70 tons. The front armor is 18m thick. The Americans believe that the German army will improve the Tiger Type sooner or later, and it is necessary to leave some forward-looking. This "foresight" jumped directly from 12m to 18m, not only far exceeding the Tiger 2 produced by Germany, but is even 2m thicker than the Tiger Type ultimate modified Tiger King 16m front armor thickness.
This is the German version of the Tiger King.
This is not the end. In addition to the t29, the US military also has many models such as T (installing 155mm cannons), T34 (not the Soviet t-34, and it is planned to install 12m cannons), T95 (3 front thickness 3 and 4 tracks) that are all in full swing, all of which cost more effort and cost than history.
Because the US diplomats in the Soviet Union received news that in the final decisive battle of the Caucasus from May to June, the Germans invested a new heavy tank Tiger 2, which was stronger than the Tiger style and had stronger defense. The Is-2, which the Soviet side had high hopes for, did not achieve the expected results. As for the t-43/85, the Tiger 2 using tungsten core bullets once it entered the range of 2ooo meters. This made the Americans look very nervous. According to convention, Germany must have a new model close to use after it came out, and there must be a larger and more powerful design in the design bureau.
The previous guess is good. Germany has indeed completed all preparations for the production of Tiger 3. It is just waiting for the hl234 motor to be mass-produced and it is fully powered. However, as for the larger and more powerful design, the new design of the German tank model is not as new as the German tank model, and the mid-level facelift is only the Leopard style. The e-45 has just gotten a clue so far. If the hl234 motor has stable performance, the e-45 will use the improved version of this model (expectedly, 9oo-1ooo horsepower).
As for the other requirements on the e-45 proposed by Hoffman: such as composite armor, high-performance 1o5mm tank rifled gun, advanced fire control rangefinder, ballistic computer, night vision system, etc., they are not in a hurry. The tiger king and the Leopard 2 are enough for the Americans to be busy. The current German tanks have a steady advantage until 195o (the Americans used Pershing and Patton in the Korean War).
Now Shaoken is going to use Tiger 2 to give the Americans opposite a little color.
Due to the tenacious blockade of the 422nd Regiment, most of the US military advisors escaped, which made Shaoken very upset, but there was nothing he could do. He was short of troops at hand, had to deal with the US troops, attack the airport, helped Montero stabilize the situation, swept up the opposition forces, and controlled various material bases. He was too busy even if he had three heads and six arms, and the Americans didn't have to do anything, just spread their feet and escape.
When stabilizing the situation and thinking about chasing, the 422nd Regiment had already fought and retreated, found a very favorable blocking point, and was able to get cover from US Air 6 nearby. After receiving the tank battalion and anti-tank destroyer battalion allocated by Clark, this temporary defense line was already very strong, which is why the Durat government could only barely control the three states: to the north there was a blocking defense line of the US military, to the south there was the territory of the American Republic, and to the depth there was not enough troops.
In the tentative attack of the previous two days, Shoken had already made the troops attack, but the US military was able to deal with it well. The combination of Tiger-style F-19o was not enough to conquer this line of defense. Originally, he hoped that Crank or Hinz could use naval guns to help him clean up his mind exactly the same as Clark, but before the fleet set off, he received news that the main fleet of the US military was approaching.
Shaoken has also studied maps. If you take a detour from the mountainous area, let alone whether the road is good or not, he can't stand this distance alone and it will take more than 17 kilometers to detour. And the detour may not be successful. What if the Americans also ambushed on the trail? Even if there is no ambush, the US air strike is a very terrible thing.
He clearly felt the difference from the Eastern Front when fighting in South America: the level of the US military's 6th battle is really common. Not to mention that it cannot be compared with the Russians, it is much worse than the British. At most, it is only the Italians and even if Italy can get such good equipment, it will perform better. However, the US Air 6 is still very threatening. Relying on the advantage of directly commanding the F-19O ground attack aircraft, it can achieve results. The US Air 6 can use three or even four times the force to force the Ta-152 and Do-412 that are covered at high altitude, so that the 19O attack on the ground will not dare to act recklessly.
However, the US military did not gain much advantage, and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun and ball lightning of this side also made the Americans suffer enough.
But there is no way out. The country sent him new reinforcements to rest and recuperate. The 5o8, 5o9 Heavy Armored Battalion arrived in Brazil. Moreover, the current Heavy Armored Battalion has been significantly upgraded. In addition to the daunting Tiger 2 tank, the main equipment also has two more heavy equipment.
The first one is called the Sherman organ. The Germans used Sherman, who seized and cut off the turrets (all of these turrets were served on the Siberden 6 boats, and behind each Siberden 6 boat were four Sherman's wronged souls) to transform the rocket launcher. The engineers tried to use the No. 4 tank territory to make magic modifications, but the result was that the Sherman space was not as large as the Sherman, with sufficient horsepower and good carrying capacity, so they all switched to Sherman. Compared with the Himmler organ, there are many important improvements to the Sherman organ.
The first improvement is the use of a 122mm caliber rocket, which seems to be smaller than the 15m caliber used by the Himmler organ, but the latter is only 1o2m in length. The newly adopted 122 rocket is nearly 2.1 meters long, which is much longer. The warhead charge is nearly twice the charge, with a maximum range of more than 12 kilometers. The longitudinal deviation of the firing is more than 40 meters and a lateral deviation of more than 150 meters, which is much higher in accuracy;
The second improvement is the increase in carrying capacity. The Sherman organ has a 36+36 combination device. A volley can shoot 36-tube rockets out. Then it can also be reloaded in 5 minutes using the automatic loading device. It can pour 72 rockets in as fast as 7 minutes. It is much more powerful than the Himmler organ. In fact, just think about it, you can know that Sherman's bearing capacity and chassis passability are comparable to that of a half-track car?
The third improvement is the most important. The position of the rocket tube of the Sherman organ is located at the original turret, and a hydraulic lifting and rotatable device is installed to freely adjust the landing distance and firing angle. In other words, generally, on-board rockets can only be fired in front of the vehicle body, and the firing distance and firing angle are basically fixed, but the Sherman organ is adjustable and can be fired to the side for flexible response, which greatly increases the combat effectiveness.
Each heavy armored battalion is equipped with 8 Sherman organs on the basis of 54 Tiger 2 tanks.
In fact, the US military also had improvements to install rockets over Sherman's head (called the t34 organ), but since the turrets and artillery still did not give up, the rockets were much less powerful and much closer. Moreover, because they were installed above the turret, the height was higher and the target was exposed more obviously, which was obviously a turret team to make up the numbers. The Sherman organ, which was modified by the German magic, was already an authentic crawler rocket shooting vehicle.
The second important equipment is Sherman ball lightning. Its main technical characteristics are almost the same as the ball lightning-propelled anti-aircraft guns that use No. 4 chassis. The difference is that the amount of ammunition carrying increased and the degree of speed increased after using the Sherman chassis. This is what Hoffman specially allocated to South American combat troops considering the obvious air superiority of the US military. The reason why he used the Sherman chassis was that, on the one hand, it hoped to be used to make parts common with the Sherman organ, and on the other hand, it was to consider fighting with the US military. If the parts on the site were damaged and there was no backup, it was considered to dismantle parts from the US tanks.
Each battalion is equipped with 6 ball lightning vehicles. If necessary, flatten the muzzles to perform anti-soft armor and personnel targets.
With these two battalions in hand, Shaoken's confidence increased greatly and he was determined to use them to fight a raid. As for the tactics, with Ye Zhanhu's help, he was not afraid of fighting in the field. Such advanced equipment did not need to be a waste. And night combat also has an advantage, which can eliminate the interference of US Air 6 to the greatest extent. He was really annoyed by these annoying flies.
At around 11:00 p.m. on July 24, the long-silent German army, led by 8 Night War Tigers, used 16 Sherman organs to open the curtain of a violent joint attack. Their rulers firmly locked the firepower points and anti-tank positions on the US military's defense line...
The 8-kilometer defense line that the US troops stationed was garrisoned, and the flames reflected red from the entire eastern coast of Brazil. The entire position suddenly turned into a sea of fire. Tom, who was long-legged behind the US military, tried to counterattack, but was shocked to find that all of these rockets were fired from 10 kilometers away, almost at the limit of Tom's range. Even so, they still fired a gun without hesitation.
Before their shells came, the Sherman organs who had finished the first round had already begun to reverse, unfolding and reloading while reversing, preparing to start the second round of shooting.
At this time, the Tiger 2 tanks, which had suddenly attacked, began to accurately call out the name by relying on the instructions of igniting flames on the US position. The m26 and m36 were called and reimbursed at a distance of 12oo-2oo meters, and the US military's random counterattack did not hit the German tanks several times. Even if they were hit, most of them were tilted armored tanks 13m on the front of Tiger 2.
After the Sherman organs completed the reload, they did not stay in the original position to continue the second round of shooting. Because this ruler had been locked by Tom, it was easy to attract revenge. This time they advanced all the way, pushing all the way behind the Tiger 2 tank, and performing the second round of shooting when it was only 3-4 kilometers away from the enemy's front, covering the depth zone intact.
At dawn, Nimitz received a telegram in depression, and the defense line of the 6th Army that was guarding the forefront was lost. The 422nd Regiment, which made great contributions some time ago, and the two battalions lost their combat effectiveness and were forced to retreat...8
