    At this distance, the 792-caliber bullets of the mg08 water-cooled heavy machine gun are powerless against the 12mm-thick armor on the front of the Chinese fd17ii armored vehicle. Once the bullet rain from the M2 heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle's rotating turret hits the nozzle of the bridgehead fortifications, it will cause  A bloody storm.  wwwdyzww No. 1,

    In the battle between the two armies, the firepower of both sides will always unconsciously focus on the other side's troops at the front and the troops that pose the greatest threat to themselves. Today, the machine gunners of the Ukrainian Volunteer Division guarding the bridgehead are no exception. Almost all of them  The machine guns tried their best to pour rain of bullets onto the Chinese armored vehicle leading the battle on the opposite side. However, due to the position and angle, these bullets could only be poured on the front and front sides of the armored vehicle, but could not hit the tires of the armored vehicle close to the ground.

    In fact, even if the tires of the armored vehicle are blown out by a hit, it will be useless. The Chinese FD17II armored vehicle uses a steel hoop wide tire structure. That is, the inflated tires are completely removed and only the steel hoops on the wheels are used. The armored vehicle can still  Maintaining power and walking means nothing more than a slower speed and increased wear on the steel hoops.

    The attack by the three Chinese steel monsters obviously caused the Ukrainian defenders on the other side of the river to become disorganized. The heavy machine guns hidden on the two flanks began to be pulled out by the machine gunners and set up on the positions, trying to attack the Chinese armored vehicles at the bridgehead from the flanks.  Open fire to stop the opponent's advance. At this time, the 76mm mortar that had been lying dormant on the second city wall fortification for a long time began to roar again. A series of mortar shells roared from the city wall 7 or 800 meters away.  It flew over and smashed into the attacking Chinese armored vehicles.

    The mortars and heavy machine guns placed by the Ukrainians on both wings of the first-line position suffered heavy casualties in the previous rounds of coalition artillery fire. However, the mortars ambush on the second city wall fortifications have not fired.  20 mortars began to boldly pull up the city wall to bombard and intercept the attacking Chinese armored vehicles.

    For the Chinese FD17II wheeled armored fighting vehicles equipped by the Chinese armored forces of the coalition, the mg08 heavy machine gun and the 76cm light infantry mortar do not pose a substantial threat. The armor thickness of the rotating turret is 18mm, and the frontal armor of the armored vehicle  It is 12mm. Due to weight restrictions, only the armor on the sides and rear is the early 9mm thickness.

    If the 75mm field gun or mountain gun shells directly hit the armored vehicle, it will definitely damage or destroy the armor of the Chinese fd17ii armored vehicle, but the mg08 heavy machine gun and the 76cm infantry mortar are obviously not included in this list.

    However, the Ukrainians quickly woke up and began to let go of the three armored vehicles in front of them. Instead, they poured firepower on the Japanese infantry who were hiding behind the armored vehicles and following the attack. Fortunately, the coalition's artillery and heavy machine guns were  Not idle, the power and range of the 32 m81 mortars in the forest are higher than the more than 20 76cm infantry mortars on the opponent's city wall, plus the 16 75mm field guns of the two coalition artillery brigades 6 kilometers away.  Intensive and accurate bombardment.

    The Ukrainian mortar positions that dared to show up to counterattack were quickly wiped out. Many Ukrainian gunners did not even have time to adjust the muzzles in their hands. Even their men and their guns were sent to the sky by the roaring counterattack fire from the coalition forces.  Because mortar shooting requires an upward opening, it actually makes it impossible for the mortar to hide and fire in a solid covered fortification like a machine gun shooter.

    This was a battle between the heavy firepower of both sides. The protagonists were the artillery and machine gunners of both sides. The battle ended with three armored vehicles of the coalition rushing onto the east side of the Kharkov Bridge. The barbed wire fence on the bridge deck  and barriers blocked the passage for armored vehicles to march in one breath. The remaining Ukrainian MG08 machine guns in the bridgehead of Battle Evolution City and the M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles on the bridge side were firing at each other. The crackling fight was quite lively.

    The more than 20 mortars that the Ukrainians invested in the second city wall fortifications suffered heavy casualties. Due to the range, the German-made 76cm light infantry mortar with a maximum range of only 1 kilometer could not threaten the enemy at least 1,500 meters away.  The M81 mortar position of the coalition forces hidden in the forest was unable to fight against the coalition field artillery position in the forest 6 kilometers away.

    If it were not for the barriers and barbed wire obstacles on the Kharkov Bridge, it would not be impossible for the coalition armored vehicles to rush up the bridge and rush to the west of the bridge in one go. However, the intensive machine gun firepower in the opponent's bridgehead fortifications still suppressed the three armored vehicles that followed closely.  The 74th Infantry Squadron, which attacked from behind, and the 75th Infantry Squadron, were withdrawn without even approaching the bridge.

    The Japanese infantry of the 74th Infantry Squadron of the Nakamura Brigade began to break down the roadblocks and barbed wires blocking the bridge under the cover of three armored vehicles lined up. Since the firepower of the mg08 heavy machine gun in the bridgehead on the other side could not be completely suppressed,  As a result, Japanese infantrymen were beaten to pieces and lost their lives.  In just a few minutes, Nakamura's 74th Infantry Squadron suffered at least 30 casualties.

    Fortunately, the two m19183h¨¨/anti-tank guns of the coalition forces that were dragged up despite the hail of bullets were finally caught on three vehicles.The position was deployed under the cover of armored vehicles, which also meant that the Ukrainian machine gunners in the bridgehead 150 meters away could no longer maintain the intercepting firepower by constantly replacing casualty shooters.

    The latest Chinese m19183h¨¨/anti-tank gun equipped by the Allied Powers on the Eastern Front finally showed its ferocious appearance under the control of the Japanese gunner.

    Among the three new 37mm series guns developed by Xuanhua Arsenal in China, the last one successfully developed was the m19183h¨¨ gun, which was installed on a special chassis that can rotate 360 ??degrees.

    This gun, which was added to the coalition forces as a single-barreled anti-aircraft gun, is certainly much more powerful than the single-function m191837at anti-tank gun. The advantage of the AT anti-tank gun is that it is light in weight, only 450 kilograms. The disadvantage is that it has a single function and can only be used as an anti-tank gun.  It is used for tanks and for attacking the opponent's fortifications, so the coalition forces are looking at equipping it with the m19183h¨¨ cannon, which can be used both high and low.

    Of course, the bridgehead used to attack the Ukrainians at this moment is also a last resort, because the two bridgeheads are all made of huge rocks. It is difficult for the machine gun nozzles facing the bridge to focus on the high-bank forest area on the other side of the river. Only this end of the bridge  Only then can you have the best shooting position.
