Chapter 1257: 1258 Too many prisoners of war

An armor-piercing projectile roared towards its target, and then cut into the main armor directly in front of the Qin army tank like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The armor that was more than 100 millimeters thick seemed to not exist, and it was penetrated easily. Then the turret of the Qin No. 4 tank flew up, as if it was equipped with some kind of ejection device.

In just a few seconds, seven or eight tanks of the attacking Qin Army tank force were hit by artillery shells, either catching fire or taking off their turrets.

And the Qin soldiers who were advancing around the Qin tanks also fell down with the explosion, as if they were all killed.

This sudden attack caught the Qin Army's tank crews a little off guard. They also discovered the Tang Army's tanks firing from a distance, but at this distance, they really had no good solution.

 Several tanks stopped and started to fight back, but the shells they fired all landed on the mound in front of the Tang army's tanks. At this distance, the accuracy of their attacks completely depended on God's will.

It is simply a dream to hit the Tang Army's tank with only a turret exposed and hiding behind the bushes in a random hit.

What's more, even if their shells really have eyes and can hit the Tang Army's tanks, most of their power will probably be offset by some of the small square box new armor hanging on the Tang Army's tanks, and even the main armor will not be able to hit them. It may not be tangible.

That's right, the Tang Army's Type 64 main battle tank is equipped with first-generation reactive armor. Although this thing is mainly used to deal with armor-piercing projectiles, it can also reduce the power of armor-piercing projectiles.

Because the Qin Army had too many tanks, a shell hit the Tang Army’s tank soon, and the external reactive armor exploded, making it seem as if the Tang Army’s tank was seriously injured after being hit.

But in fact, inside the Tang Army's tank, the tank crew only felt a vibration. In the process, the automatic loader even reloaded the shells, and nothing was delayed.

The Tang Army tank that had just been hit opened fire again a few seconds later, blasting away the Qin Army tank directly in front of it. The massacre continued without stopping.

At this time, Liu Guozhu was reluctant to open the hatch of his tank to observe the surrounding battlefield situation, because he had a new device, an independent observation device for the commander.

Similar to a submarine's periscope, this thing has a pretty good field of vision, so Liu Guozhu doesn't need to risk sticking his head out to see everything happening around the battlefield.

Through the observation mirror, he saw that the Qin army's tanks were accelerating, trying to outflank Liu Guozhu's tank company from both sides.

Unfortunately, the Qin Army tanks on one side only crossed a small dirt bag, and were blocked by another Tang Army tank company on Liu Guozhu's flank.

The loud noises of tank guns were continuous on the battlefield. The Tang Army's tanks, which had automatic loading machines, laser sights, and even ballistic computers, kept firing. The Qin Army's tanks were paralyzed in the field one after another, burning and bursting into flames. Thick smoke.

Soon, the burning tank wreckage on the battlefield began to block each other's sight. At a distance of more than 500 meters, as long as a Qin Army tank burst out of smoke, it would be destroyed by the main guns of several Tang Army tanks. Gradually, the tanks of the Qin Army stopped shooting out smoke. Before the Qin Army tanks on the detour on the other side could complete the outflanking, they were flanked by the tanks of the Tang Army who came to support them, and almost instantly lost their combat effectiveness.

Hundreds of tanks were easily destroyed, and corpses covered the entire battlefield. The tanks of the Tang Army began to launch a counterattack. When they deftly avoided the burning tank wreckage and rushed to the retreating Qin Army tanks, they saw A tank commander waving a white cloth.

Hundreds of tanks, hundreds of cars, a variety of anti-aircraft guns, logistics soldiers, and traditional infantry responsible for covering the tanks.

They stood there in a dense crowd, watching numbly as the Tang Army's low-looking tank, covered with square boxes, drove past in front of them.

The weapons of these Qin soldiers were piled together, and they had long lost their previous ferocity and bravery. They stood in groups on the roadside, guarded by several Tang soldiers, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

 A bloody, or one-sided **** battle was completely over within a few hours. All that was left was to count the prisoners, clean the battlefield, and rest and resupply.

 The ammunition truck passed through the crowds of prisoners and began to replenish ammunition for the Type 64 tanks that had used up half or even more than half of their ammunition.

The main force of Liu Guozhu's tank regiment arrived on the battlefield. Dozens of 64 tanks of the same model but without reactive armor, as well as armored command vehicles, ammunition supply trucks, oil trucks and trucks filled with food were more powerful than Qin's. The armored divisions of the Army seem to be quite spectacular.

The maintenance truck was crawling with Tang Army maintenance workers. A logistics support worker carrying an MP5 submachine gun sat on the spare engine in the truck compartment, overlooking the Qin soldiers who had surrendered and were enjoying lunch.

Legend has it that these soldiers of the Qin State would never surrender even if they died. They had super high fighting qualities, were brave, tenacious, and extremely fierce. In reality... they are just a group of young people, sharing the rations in their hands, as docile as a group of sheep.

The armored repair vehicle modified from the chassis of the Type 113 armored vehicle was equipped with a thick boom. The Tang workers who were leaning on the boom jumped off at the command and began to help Liu Guozhu's company, which had just fought a battle, maintain their own tanks. .

 They need to refuel the tank, clean the gun breech, check all tracks, and replenish ammunition. Such a complicated job cannot be done with three crew members in a tank.

What's more, commanders like Liu Guozhu, company commanders, platoon commanders, and vehicle commanders all have to gather for meetings to review the battle just now, report the battle situation, describe the battle process, and receive new tasks from the battalion and regiment headquarters.

 In short, everyone has something to be busy with, and the entire army must restore its combat effectiveness. The prisoners of the nearby Qin army were all sent to prisoner-of-war camps by the second-line troops.

The place was now overcrowded. Qin soldiers gathered from all over to fill up the newly built prisoner-of-war camps. They surrendered even faster than the Qin engineers who built the prisoner-of-war camps built new houses.

I heard that many tents and other tents originally prepared for the troops were left in prisoner-of-war camps as a last resort... Of course, this is just a rumor among the troops. As to whether it is true, no one knows.
