Chapter 173: Charge Forward and Win
The next morning.
The competition venue was already crowded and bustling.
In this world dominated by girls' tandem, the popularity of tandem has even surpassed football and basketball, becoming a sport that attracts the attention of the whole nation.
The auditorium was packed with students from various colleges, curious people and parents who were concerned about their children's performance.
A lady in a neat suit and with an imposing manner sat in the VIP seat, staring intently at the live broadcast on the big screen.
She is Shiho Nishizumi, the head of the Nishizumi family. She has come here specifically to watch the tank track competition in which her daughter is participating.
"Hey, it looks like the situation isn't looking good for our little girl from the Nishizumi family."
The blonde woman sitting next to him smiled softly.
Although Nishizumi Miho has transferred to Oarai, she is still the descendant of the Nishizumi School. The result of this match is not only about personal honor, but also determines the superiority of the Nishizumi School and the Shimada School in the field of tank lane.
Nishizumi Shiho did not respond, but was also concerned about what strategy Nishizumi Miho would use to deal with the next game.
In her opinion, the situation is serious, and perhaps only Kuromori Mine's strength still has a chance of winning.
On the field, tanks from both sides quickly drove into the venue.
The university selection team consists of 29 T26 Pershing tanks and one Centurion main battle tank.
The leading captain was petite, wearing a military uniform, and his gray-brown eyes sparkled with determination.
At the same time, Airi Shimada examined the tank lineup of the Oarai "Four Six Three" Academy.
Not only that, when the game just started, Nishizumi Miho's friends all went through temporary transfer procedures and drove their respective tanks to come to support.
The supporting tanks included the Tiger, King Tiger and Panther from Kuromori Mine, the T-34, IS-2, KV-2 from Maritim High School, the BT-42 from Continuing High School, etc. It was like an international team.
The most eye-catching ones are the tanks belonging to Oarai Academy.
Airisu looked at the vehicles carefully for a long time and felt that they were different from the models he remembered.
They look similar in outline, but something seems to be wrong in the details.
How can a tank’s main gun be designed with polygonal shape?
"Is that a Panzer IV?"
A little loli pointed to Miho Nishizumi's car parked not far away.
"Yeah, well, yes, we changed it a little bit..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Nishizumi Miho's face as she answered.
At this time, Airisu noticed that the tanks of other academies were relatively normal, but the tanks of Oarai Academy had many strange-shaped parts.
"Uh, that...could it be a plasma thruster?"
An Kakutani was so surprised that she couldn't help but click her tongue, remembering the scene of them circling in the air during their experiment last night.
But we can’t care about that now, winning the game is the most important thing.
"what?!"
"Can a tank like this participate in the competition?"
a Chariot Road Education Department official raised the question.
"It's OK to modify the tank, as long as the opponent has no objection."
The referee's eyes turned to Airisu.
After some thought, Airi realized that for Oarai Academy, even if they tried their best to modify the tanks, they would not be able to make up for the huge gap between their own tanks.
After all, the basic conditions of Oarai Academy are far behind those of the other side, and this disadvantage cannot be made up for simply by modification.
It's like trying to transform a World War II tank into one with the combat capability of a modern main battle tank. The gap between the two cannot be bridged by simply adding some parts.
In addition, Oarai Academy is short of funds, so naturally there are not many advanced modification components to choose from.
"I agree, let's start the game."
Airisu nodded.
After bowing to each other, the contestants from both teams returned to their respective camps, gathered their companions, and began to formulate a battle plan.
In the combat meeting room built with a tent, a girl with brown hair and black pupils, wearing a black uniform, a red short skirt, and a military cap, spoke:
"Miho, start making a battle plan. We will all follow your command."
This person is Nishizumi Mao, the captain of the tank unit of Kuromorimine Girls' Academy and also Miho's sister.
"Um……"
The members of Oarai Academy each held an instruction manual in their hands, muttering to themselves as they read through it.
"This button is for acceleration, this one is for rear guidance mode... and brake off-track?"
"What is an automatic counterattack system? It sounds very high-tech!"
"What are you doing? You're still figuring out how to drive a tank at this hour!"
Mao asked with a frown on her face.
"Um……"
"Our tank was modified yesterday, and now no one knows how to drive it..."
Miho scratched her head sheepishly.
It turns out that the tanks of Oarai Academy were significantly modified by a group of unidentified people, and they were left with instruction manuals.
According to Kewei, it is not difficult to master the driving skills of these new tanks, but time is tight and the crew members are learning hard.
"?!"
"Huh?! You guys modified the tank so badly that you can't even drive it?"
Mao's lieutenant Erica made a surprised expression.
"Miho, you are kidding me?"
"We rushed over from Kuromori Peak to help you, and now you tell us that the people from the tank department of Oarai Academy are actually going to study how to drive before the war?!"
She thought Nishizumi Miho was too humorous. For such an important competition, she had to learn how to drive a tank.
It's incomprehensible, as if one had just gone to the battlefield and then remembered that they needed to Baidu how to load a gun.
"Well... that sister said that as long as we learn how to drive these tanks, we can win by just charging forward..."
Miho briefly explained what happened last night.
Last night they only had time to learn the basic startup and control direction, but they had not had time to learn in depth how to use more complex weapon systems.
She looked up at the vast blue sky.
Half an hour later, the radio sounded.
At this moment, outside the competition venue, the staff responsible for the Tank Lane event commentary carefully and responsibly introduced the game situation to the audience.
As teams such as Kuromamine, Sanders, and Mari entered the field one after another, the commentator felt that this game would definitely be exciting, so she mustered up her energy and began a lively commentary.
“Dear audience friends, this is a head-on confrontation between the two major tandem styles, the Nishizumi-ryu and the Shimada-ryu. To some extent, it also represents the pinnacle showdown in the tandem field of our country.
"The leader of the Nishizumi School is Nishizumi Miho, and their tank unit includes... The leader of the Shimada School is the talented tank girl Shimada Airi, and the tank unit sent by the university selection team is...
Both teams have entered combat positions. Let’s first look at Shimada’s tactical arrangements.
(The camera switches to the university selection team)
The Centurion tank driven by Airi Shimada was on the high ground, and the other 29 Pershing tanks were scattered into several teams. They were flexibly using their mobility advantages to seize favorable terrain. They moved back and forth in the forest and quickly divided up the battlefield.
"Well, Shimada-ryu adopts a highly flexible tactic and is good at using ambushes and turns to create encounter situations where the majority are against the minority.
"It seems that Ms. Shimada Airitoshi has a deep understanding and practice of Shimada-style Tank Road.
The commentator highly praised Airi's tactical strategy.
Chiyo Shimada, who was watching the game off the field, also nodded, expressing her satisfaction with her daughter's carefully planned tactics.
Next, we will focus on the response strategy of Oarai Academy. How will they fight against the powerful Pershing tank?
(The camera turns to Oarai Academy)
The commentator just started to introduce the tactics of Oarai Academy: "The Nishizumi-ryu Tank Road tactics focus on controlling the terrain and positions, relying on overwhelming firepower to fight a decisive battle with the opponent in a short period of time. It is a simple and powerful tactic..."
As the commentator spoke, he suddenly rubbed his eyes, wondering if he hadn't gotten enough rest last night, and then he shouted almost hysterically:
"The tanks of Oarai Academy are actually flying! The Type 4 tank is flying!"
“Unbelievable! It’s accelerating!”
"The Panzer IV, the Jagdpanzer, and the Panzer III assault gun formed an air formation and are flying towards the university selection team!"
"Is this the new tactic of the Nishizumi Style? It's really unexpected!"
Everyone, including Nishizumi Shiho, Shimada Chiyo and other viewers were stunned and said, "I've never seen anything like this before."
We have watched various tank races in the past twenty years, and have seen everything from wheeled tanks to super-heavy tanks, but this is the first time for everyone to see a flying tank.
Nishizumi Shiho leaned forward slightly, watching the TV broadcast with a frown. She didn't remember her daughter having such ability.
The "flying tank", or small shuttle, modified by Bri was extremely fast. Not long after, when Shimada Airisu was still directing his subordinates to carry out infiltration and encirclement, he suddenly discovered some small black dots appearing on the other side of the horizon.
“What is that? …Is that the Tank Lane Alliance’s broadcast helicopter?”
The small black dot gradually grew larger until it was clearly visible. It was a Type 4 tank flying in the air with a tail flame, and the emblem of Oarai Academy was printed on the front of the tank.
“What the hell is this?!”
"Why did the tanks of Oarai Academy fly???"
The Pershing tank column below was also thrown into chaos.
However, after a brief surprise, Shimada Airi showed excellent military qualities and immediately ordered an attack.
"Aim at them and fire!"
“No matter what the enemy looks like, in the air they are just targets to shoot at!”
Boom boom boom
The tanks halfway up the mountain used the terrain to raise their shooting angles and fired fiercely at the Dayuan convoy in the air.
The shells were blocked by a light blue shield more than ten meters away from the tank, and the explosion formed fireballs.
The vehicle's AI prompts the situation of being attacked: "Klein force field saturation: 0.0021%."
"what?"
"What is that?"
The university selection team knew nothing about this advanced technology, and even Nishizumi Miho, Reizei Mizuko and others sitting in the car were stunned.
"Um..."
"Let me think, how should the main gun of the Panzer IV be operated..."
Gunner Isuzu Hana was looking through the instruction manual while trying to operate the holographic interface.
"Radar search system activated."
A scan of the surrounding terrain was displayed on the screen, with the nearest dozen Pershing tanks marked by red boxes.
"Guided missile strike is ready."
The indifferent voice of the in-car AI sounded.
"Huh? What? Guided missiles?"
The Nishizumi crew's eyes widened; it was the first time they heard of such equipment on a tank.
With a click, two rows of missile launchers extended from the side skirts of the Type 4 tank, loaded with small guided missiles made by Britt. They were only slightly larger than tank shells, but more sophisticated, with autonomous navigation and tracking and strike capabilities.
call out--
Twelve missiles drew elegant arcs in the air and hit the locked tank directly.
Accompanied by a violent explosion, twelve Pershing tanks raised white flags in surrender.
Thanks to its special craftsmanship, this missile will not kill people, but it is enough to destroy tanks.
Nishizumi Miho was shocked: "Oh?! It's so powerful?!"
It was the first time she had seen a weapon that could destroy more than a dozen tanks at a time, and it was extremely easy to operate. All she had to do was lock the target on the radar interface.
Seeing this, other crews from Oarai Academy also began to imitate the operation of the new weapon.
As the hunter broke through the atmosphere, a spectacular sight of a starry sky appeared before his eyes.
An Kakutani tapped the screen lightly.
"Activate orbital strike mode."
A high-energy ray penetrated the sky, and a column of light fell from outside the atmosphere, leaving deep gullies on the ground, completely disrupting the formation of the university selection team and changing the topographical features of the competition venue.
The Type 3 assault gun launched a decisive attack and accurately hit the target hidden in the woods.
