Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Next, Town No. 32 and Town No. 33 obediently handed over their guns and ammunition; but when the B-3 team flew to Town No. 34, they saw a long "" at the entrance of the town. ditch". Seeing the helicopter flying over, the residents of the town who were digging these "trenches" dispersed and hid in the town without a trace.

"Ha! Are we digging trenches?!" Because they didn't encounter any resistance when they came to notify them yesterday, they didn't launch an attack on this town. But it was obvious that after they returned, the people in the town began to build fortifications. "These stupid guys are simply asking for death." Even the regular U.S. army equipped with tanks and artillery is no match for them. These guys still want to resist? This is not a dangerous place where one man can block the way and no one can open it. Just rely on the few broken guns in his hand? I don’t know which idiot organized it, or is the whole town full of idiots? !

"Then attack?" The machine gunner pulled the bolt, put his finger on the trigger, and was ready to fire. Since these guys are so ignorant, there's no need to be polite.

The driver shook his head. "With just three of our helicopters, we can't destroy the entire town. It's better to call for support." He said and contacted the command center at the rear. "Command center, command center, this is the B-3 team. We need to carry out a fire attack on Town No. 34. The town has about 1,500 households, and most of them are wooden houses. Let the attack aircraft bring more incendiary bombs."

Like the island nation, the United States also has many wooden houses. The main reason why people in island countries live in wooden houses is that earthquakes occur frequently in the island country. The natural flexibility of wood can effectively absorb and consume external forces, and can withstand severe earthquakes. According to surveys on the seismic performance of wooden structures after major earthquakes around the world, most wooden structures survived the earthquake without collapse or serious structural damage. "When the walls fall, the house does not collapse." Casualties were also minimal among timber-framed homes.

As for the United States, it is because the United States is vast and sparsely populated and has abundant timber resources, which can even be said to be "surplus." Timber for construction is much cheaper than cement and steel bars. Even if a family builds a large villa, there is no problem. If cement is used, the cost will be very high, not only the cost of materials, but also the cost of cement workers, construction trucks, etc. Moreover, using a large amount of wood will reduce the cost of the entire house, which not only means saving money when building the house, but more importantly, it can also save future real estate taxes. Because the tax rate levied is based on the property's valuation; for new homes, appraisers typically use the replacement cost method, which considers the cost of rebuilding the same home and then adjusts it for land value and depreciation. Therefore, how much it costs to build a house at that time can determine the property's valuation, which can also affect the amount of real estate taxes that need to be paid.

However, the disadvantage of wooden houses is that they have poor fire resistance. At the end of World War II in the original time and space, Le Mei bombed the mainland of the island country. He initially used high-explosive bombs, but later found that the high-explosive bombs were not destructive enough. Thinking that most of the houses in the island country were made of wooden structures, gradually Instead of using incendiary bombs, the island country entered hell.

"The command center has received it and will soon dispatch a formation of attack aircraft. You can go to the next town."

"Understood." The helicopter formation circled over the town and flew towards the next town. The machine gunner looked at the town below and spat disdainfully. "These idiots only have half an hour to live, so enjoy the rest of the time."

"The German plane has flown away!" After the helicopter formation had gone away, an old man with a cane in one hand came out and said loudly. "Everyone, hurry up and dig trenches. The German ground troops will come at any time!!"

The residents who had just taken shelter in the houses came out one after another and returned to the outside of the town to continue digging trenches.

The mayor participated in the last war, was wounded on the battlefield, and became a lame. He hated the Germans deeply. He even scorned the Germans' "persuasion to surrender" and led the residents of the town to resist to the end. And they didn't resist blindly. In addition to the residents' own firearms, the town also took in many fleeing American soldiers not long ago.

These US soldiers brought many anti-tank rocket launchers and two M3 37mm anti-tank guns.

This anti-tank gun originated from Germany. During the Spanish Civil War a few years ago, the US liaison officer in Spain reported that the German PaK35/36 37mm anti-tank gun was very effective against tank threats. The U.S. Army purchased an anti-tank gun one by one for evaluation, but the idea of ​​purchasing a large number of German 37mm guns was abandoned. The general consensus was to copy the German model, especially its telescopic sight; the process began in 1940 Production, named M3 37mm anti-tank gun.

When the U.S. military arrived on the European battlefield, they found that the M3 was already outdated. On the battlefield, artillery with a caliber larger than 37 mm was needed to penetrate the German tank armor. Although the U.S. military uses M3 anti-tank guns extensively in North Africa, they are still gradually replaced by larger-caliber artillery.

However, it still shined in the Pacific battlefield. Because the Japanese army mainly equips light tanks, the M3 still has a lot of use. In the island-hopping battle, the U.S. military used a large number of high-explosive shells and shotgun shells, while destroying the Japanese solid bunkers relied on armor-piercing shells. The lighter weight and easy-to-operate characteristics of this artillery are very suitable for various amphibious landing operations in the Pacific theater, so the U.S. People still continue to produce M3s for use in the Pacific battlefield. By 1945, no fewer than 18,702 M3 series guns had been produced.

Apparently the mayor's concept was still stuck more than 20 years ago; he felt that these rocket launchers and anti-tank guns were enough to withstand the German tank troops.

Although many American soldiers who were frightened by the German fighting power persuaded the mayor to hand over their weapons obediently and keep the town safe, they were all severely reprimanded by the mayor. As a result, these unlucky soldiers could only be semi-forced to join the ranks of resisting the German army.

"Grandpa Jones, can we really stop the Germans?" At this time, a teenage boy walked up to the mayor and asked with worry on his face.

The mayor patted his chest confidently. "Of course. Grandpa, I am a sharpshooter who can shoot through the enemy at any time. I remember that I shot countless Germans on the battlefields of Europe. If they dare to come, come and kill one, or two and kill a pair."

The boy seemed slightly relieved. "Grandpa Jones, when the fighting starts, can I follow you? I want to see you fight the Germans!"

The mayor reached out and touched the boy's head. "Of course you can, but you have to hide carefully and don't show your head randomly. Bullets don't have long eyes."

At this moment, more than a dozen black spots appeared in the distant sky. Their figures gradually enlarged, and the roar of the engines became louder.
