"Boom, boom, boom!" In order to deal with the Apocalypse tanks, the Americans launched 16 ballistic missiles in one go.
Under the counterattack and harassment of Huaxia v3 and fighter planes, they can only launch these. Some missiles were destroyed on their launch pads, including those in launch silos and trains. Once discovered, they would immediately receive priority strikes from China. However, Tianqi's attack still caused the Americans to resist China's counterattack and retaliate, focusing 16 bombs directly on the area where Tianqi tanks were active.
¡°But when the smoke and dust dissipated, the Americans were surprised to find that except for a few Apocalypse tanks that were hit directly and nearby and stopped, the other red monsters continued to move forward as if they were not affected at all.
As the ultimate weapon for fighting in various time and space, it has long been accustomed to continue to advance with the opponent's heavy weapons attacks. It can even withstand the shock wave of nuclear bombs for one or two points. Even if the current Apocalypse Tank is only level one, But as long as it is not directly hit by a ballistic missile or is too close to the explosion point, it is not afraid of the explosion shock wave at all.
The Americans were dumbfounded.
"What the hell is this?" Every American who saw the Apocalypse tank lamented in his heart. No one believed it was a Mammoth tank anymore.
The Americans have fought against China many times and encountered Mammoth tanks several times, and have a rough understanding of some of its performance. Now on the core battlefield of the tank battle between the two sides, mammoths are roaring. There will never be such a monster.
They naturally don¡¯t know that although the appearance of the Apocalypse Tank is somewhat similar to the Mammoth Tank, its performance in all aspects has undergone breakthrough changes.
In terms of defensive capabilities alone, the Level 1 Apocalypse is much stronger than the larger Level 1 Mammoth Tank.
It should be said that the defense technology of the first-level Apocalypse is the same as that of the second-level Mammoth. They are originally two development directions based on the first-level Mammoth tank.
Since the Apocalypse Tank has appeared, the second-level Mammoth can naturally be produced. It was just regarded as a trump card and kept in Meng Xiang's hands, and he did not show up for the time being.
Meng Xiang originally thought that a young man like an American soldier would collapse if the torrent of Chinese steel rushed through. But now that the Apocalypse tanks have been unveiled, the Americans are still insisting.
"The United States, a country of immigrants, may lack some cohesion, but if you are attacked on your doorstep and you don't fight back, it really doesn't look like a cowboy!" Fan Zhong was once very surprised that Meng Heng said that the American soldiers were weak in combat, and he was convinced. Meng Xiang was stunned. The rumors are not credible.
Not to mention that the current US military is not as squeamish as the US military in later generations. The Americans' bravery in conquering the West and their courage to reach the top of the world are still stirring. The most important thing is that they still have a large number of brave commanders headed by Eisenhower and Patton, inspiring the elite of West Point Military Academy.
Cherishing life and being brave are two concepts. Most of the previous battles took place outside the United States, which American soldiers did not care about. But now, for the sake of their homes and relatives, the vilified American soldiers may fight on their own land until the last moment.
Of course, this is just a possibility. The Western world¡¯s understanding of life and country is very different from China¡¯s. When the concern for life is great enough, American soldiers will make similar choices to European armies.
"Perhaps just one straw is enough to crush the morale of the Americans!" Meng Xiang, who was watching the battle remotely, was determined not to hide the secondary Mammoth tank as a backup. Ready to be released.
But at this time, the Americans unleashed their trump card.
More than thirty behemoth-like giant steel monsters emerged from the American position, and the two 155mm gun barrels looked particularly ferocious.
"Oh God, this is our giant tank!" After seeing the Stars and Stripes spray-painted on these behemoths, there was a burst of joy on the American battlefield. Morale, which was on the verge of collapse, was boosted.
"Why has no one ever told me that we still have some of these things? If I had known earlier, I would definitely use them to crush all the Chinese people's bones and appendixes!" Barton said with great enthusiasm.
Being suppressed by Chinese tanks, especially after the appearance of Tianqi tanks, even his confidence in his heart was shaken. But at this time, the appearance of these large steel monsters of 200 to 300 tons immediately gave him hope of recovery.
"These are just experimental products." Eisenhower, who was contacting him, said helplessly, "Be careful, the performance is not perfect in some places!"
The appearance of the Chinese Mammoth tank directly pointed out a way to the deep pit for the Americans.
Americans go to great lengths. They even did not hesitate to unite with allies such as Britain. But it still can't be like the Mammoth tank. It was either a power problem or the huge recoil of the two large-caliber tank guns could not be offset.
See the power of the Mammoth tank¡¯s 130mm twin barrels and the Rhino Grizzly¡¯s 120mm and 125mm tank guns.After. After learning about the German Giant Rat tank plan, the Americans were no longer interested in 105mm, 120mm or even 127mm tanks, and went straight to the 155mm tank. But great power also means trouble. It doesn't even have a strong enough frame to withstand the impact of the huge recoil, and it can easily fall apart if you're not careful.
In the end, the entire vehicle body had to be enlarged in order to be able to carry two 155mm tank guns.
In this era, missiles are not yet flying all over the sky. Even if it is easy to be discovered due to its huge body, it is not a big problem to be attacked by artillery fire. The worst thing is to thicken the armor and not be afraid of ordinary artillery fire.
The Americans followed this idea and gradually increased the weight of this new giant tank to a tonnage of nearly 300 tons.
Such weight simply cannot cross some bridges, and even movement is slow. But in order to ensure this victory, the Americans, who were in a defensive state, dragged it out of the laboratory in advance, relying on its huge body to increase its deterrent effect on opponents and improve their own morale.
Sure enough, hearing the roar of these giant tanks, the morale of the US military could not help but be greatly improved.
But Eisenhower understood that these big guys who had not yet completely left the laboratory still had some defects in mobility and durability. After having to reveal them in advance, he immediately reminded the commander on the front line, General Patton. .
Although Patton is a little regretful, his morale has been restored, and it is also good as a mobile turret. These 155mm tank guns that can withstand close attacks are enough to cause damage to those first-level mammoths and reduce the pressure on the front.
The Chinese side was also a little surprised by the sudden appearance of these 32 giant steel monsters by the Americans. They couldn't figure out the details, and the surrounding offensive was actually slightly sluggish.
"Call v3 rocket support!" The theater commander Wang Yaowu had to apply for support from his superiors.
Just now, T64 tanks fired armor-piercing projectiles at them, and fighter planes flew in to attack, but it had little effect on those big guys with thick armor as perverted as maritime cruisers. They can only be dealt with with sharper weapons. Compared with those pioneer cannons that are particularly troublesome to move the barrel to lock the target, the v3 rocket attacks more quickly. It is also China's most popular strategic support weapon besides air strikes.
"No need to dispatch v3. Let's try their terminator!" Meng Xiang, who had been watching the battle, also noticed this and directly gave instructions to the battlefield commander Hu Er.
Meng Xiang already knew that this American tank was dubbed the Terminator before it even left the laboratory, but he did not expect that they would appear so early.
Originally, he wanted to send out the second-level mammoth. At this time, the American terminator jumped out, which was just a stepping stone for the emergence of the second-level mammoth. It was easier to completely crush the last bit of American confidence.
As the camouflage of the underground fortifications in the rear was lifted, amidst the swirling dust and thick smoke, huge steel monsters emerged from the ground one after another. After letting out a continuous roar, they began to gather towards the Americans. The Terminator tank went towards it.
The American terminators on the front line are attacking fiercely, and they are fighting fiercely with the first-level mammoth.
Don¡¯t look at the fact that the first-level mammoth only weighs over a hundred tons, but it is a fine product made by the base and can still withstand the Terminator¡¯s slow attack. Although the power of the 130mm tank gun is somewhat compromised compared to the thick armor of the Terminator tanks, the firing frequency of the American Terminator shells is only 3 rounds per minute at most, compared with the first-level Mammoth which can fire 9 rounds per minute. A big difference compared to that.
¡°If the Apocalypse Tank who is masturbating comes over, he will definitely beat all the Terminators to the ground one on one.
But at least the appearance of the Terminator tank now means that there is no opponent to overwhelm it on the approaching battlefield, giving hope to the Americans whose front was already shaky.
However, this hope was quickly dashed.
The younger ones were beaten, and the older ones came.
The second-level mammoths coming straight towards the Terminator swept up the dust and quickly came to kill them.
The standard size of 300 tons is not inferior to the slightly bloated Terminator tank. The two thick 170 mm gun barrels are always aimed at the American Terminator that is getting closer and closer.
The confident Terminator Tank also discovered the opponent and began to move this way, eager to challenge a more powerful opponent.
Both sides are making way for these huge steel monsters.
Main tanks such as Overlord and T64 have become little cubs beside them, unable to participate in this battle that is not of the same weight class.
Even the roar of the artillery groups and fighter planes has been reduced by a few points, which seems to give up the most gorgeous stage on the battlefield, allowing these heavily armored knights to have a fair duel. (To be continued)
