Chapter 298 Counterattack (4)

"Brigade... Brigadier, do you want to rush?" the driver stammered. Vertex Fiction --..--.

Longfellow looked out the window. Fear spread among the soldiers. Some infantrymen hid behind the mound with their heads folded, their bloated bodies trembling. The formation of light armored vehicles also became extremely bad. Feelings of bewilderment were like a plague, sweeping through the entire army in the blink of an eye.

Those rainbow balls falling from the sky have a damage range of more than 100 meters, and they also have a splash effect. The splashed high-heat liquid can even burn through armored vehicles such as "saber-toothed tigers", let alone infantry "guardian knights".

If this continues, even if they can rush to the front of the enemy's formation, I am afraid that the light armor units will be completely lost. There is no way to fight this battle!

"To withdraw or not to withdraw?"

When Longfellow was hesitating, a laser beam shot in from the high-altitude clouds and fell straight on the external laser receiver of the "Double-Headed Rhino". The countdown to the launch of the laser communication network will pop up on the display.

30 seconds, and there are 30 seconds left to contact the combat command. Longfellow's balance began to tip to one side.

"Hold on, we'll be able to call for support from the Air Force and space-based weapons in half a minute." The radio communication was jammed, so he could only use the on-board laser to convey instructions to the vehicles.

The fear of the soldiers was slightly reduced, and the tanks continued to move forward in formation.

Longfellow stared at the monitor, silently counting down as the numbers flashed. "24...23...22..."

The "Brown Bear" accelerated the progress of mine clearance, and the 8 tanks of the Pioneer Company formed a blade formation behind it, and the shells were loaded, ready to deal with the danger from the front at any time.

Shhhhhhhhhh

It was another salvo, and the commanders watched the ball of light jump out of the horizon, rising higher and higher. Then whizzed past from the top of the head.

"One, two, three..." They counted silently.

Suddenly, a small black dot appeared on the horizon where the ball of light jumped up, rushing towards the tank array at an extremely fast speed. Through the optical telescope on the front of the car, the commander and gunners of the vanguard company saw the true face of the daredevil at the same time.

a tank. With the silver armor attached to the body, the main battle tank with two barrels horizontally on the turret, facing the light and against the direction of the smoke, rushed straight towards it.

The soldiers were stunned,

Is this a stage show? What about the one hundred and eight generals in The Romance of the Marsh? After you sing, I will appear on the stage. Is it over yet? Can this battle still be fought well?

Longfellow had a toothache and sores on the roof of his mouth, and now he wished he could crush the rebel balls one by one. What do you call this? Oh shit. The guy who started the car left, and in a blink of an eye, there were such tanks, and they came one by one. He almost regarded his armored brigade as a tool for appearance.

"Hit, hit me hard, smash his head, smash his cockpit, you must avenge your brothers!"

The 8 "One-horn Rhinoceros" of the Pioneer Company opened fire while driving. Eight black gun barrels pointed at the strange tank on the horizon.

boom! boom! boom!

The muzzle painted with camouflage shot out balls of fire, causing the vehicle body to vibrate violently. Dust and gunpowder smoke are everywhere.

Eight depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs whizzed all the way straight to Howson, and the siege tank remained unmoved, unlike the previous vulture chariot, whose driving route did not even change. steppe lion. The tracks made two tracks in the vegetable field that had begun to wither, roaring all the way, and headed straight for the enemy group.

125-caliber depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles fell around the siege tanks, and the warheads penetrated the soil several meters deep.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The muffled sound of explosions and vibrations came from the ground, and the siege tanks were covered in rain of sediment like a fountain.

finally. A shell hit the front armor of the siege tank, and there was a bang, red flashed, and the fireball spread quickly like a billowing wave of gunpowder smoke.

"It's hit! It's hit!" The gunner of the 108 "One Horn Rhinoceros" tank danced excitedly. The 125-caliber depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile is powerful enough to pierce a steel plate several meters thick, and is directly hit on the front of the car. The enemy's fate can be imagined.

The previous armed locomotive escaped the shelling of the "one-horned rhinoceros" because of its fast speed and flexible steering. Now, with only one main battle tank, do you want to safely cross the firepower blockade built by the Pioneer Tank Company with 8 "one-horned rhinos"? This is simply wishful thinking!

After the artillery fire faded away, everyone looked nervously at the other end of the line of sight, waiting for the gunpowder smoke to clear away, and then they could see the miserable scene of the enemy.

It is a pity that things did not develop in the direction they expected due to the unfavorable weather. Amidst the billowing smoke, a cloud of shadows soared into the sky, and with the breathtaking roar of the engine, it flew over the 3-meter-wide ditch.

throat! With a bang, the track was pressed against the bushes, and the all-terrain suspension system made it ignore the impact from under the car body, flicked its tail slightly, and continued to speed forward.

"How is it possible! How is it possible!" The gunners were dumbfounded. It was a 125 depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile, which only drilled a hole of less than 10 in the enemy's front armor, and did not cause any substantial damage to the overall structure.

Does this dude drive a tank? Vajra Gourd Baby...

"Why are you standing still? Use missiles, laser guidance!" The company commander of Pioneer Company shouted loudly.

The gunners came back to their senses one after another, turned their sights, and projected laser beams on the siege tank. Next, press the fire button on the missile launcher.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The tails of the missile launchers on the two wings of the "Single Rhinoceros" turret shot out flames, and sixteen "Gripen" air-to-ground missiles pierced through the air, hitting the armor, turret, and tracks of the siege tank like dancing ribbons. On the ground, clusters of huge fireballs ignited. 8 "One Horn Rhino" vs. 1 Siege Tank.

As the old saying goes, ants kill elephants more often, and the "Gripen" class missile is an anti-tank weapon that can damage even the super-hard titanium alloy of a battleship. It is used to deal with armored targets, and it can be called an expert. Not to mention the armor-piercing effect, the shock wave from the explosion of the explosion department alone is enough to shock to death the driver in a heavy armored tank weighing more than 100 tons.

"One-horned rhino" is not an ant, and a siege tank is not an elephant. If you insist on using land creatures as a metaphor, maybe mammoths and stegosauruses are more vivid.

Under the attack of sixteen Gripen missiles. The outer armor of the tank suffered some damage, from the original silver-gray to mottled, with large and small bullet craters on the surface. However, none of these can stop it from advancing, 2000 meters. 1500 meters, 1000 meters, 800 meters... getting closer, getting closer.

The captains couldn't help stepping on the brakes, and the expressions of the gunners were even more wonderful. After being bombarded by 16 "Gripen" missiles, it is still tenaciously alive. The scene in front of them subverted their view of combat.

As fast as the wind, as fast as electricity, an armed locomotive crossing the river with a reed; with a copper head and iron arms. The thirteenth Taibao horizontal company with a golden bell cover and an iron cloth shirt shrunk into the sun, who are these people...

Also, what is he going to do... What is he going to do?

Some commanders were about to cry, the siege tank obviously had a pair of daunting gun barrels. However, it didn't fire a single shot from the beginning to the end, just charging forward like a mad bull.

"We just want to fight well!" A gunner cried, like a dead father: "This day is impossible!"

He is not alone in thinking this way. After seeing the scene in front of them, the brains of all the tank soldiers of the Pioneer Company froze. I feel that my 20 years have been wasted.

One of the enemy's tanks was so mouth-to-mouth, rushing towards the "brown bear" like a bull.

You must know that the "Brown Bear" is a super-heavy mine-sweeping vehicle, weighing up to 150 tons. This is a war, not an arm wrestling. As a main battle tank, it doesn't want to hurt the enemy with artillery fire, but actually fights with street children like a "brown bear". Isn't this courting death?

However, the facts once again slapped everyone, and the "Brown Bear" was lifted up like that, and the multi-mode minesweeper in front was smashed to pieces, looking from a distance. It's like a sumo wrestler whose loincloth was ripped off, and then a kid who hadn't even grown his milk teeth pinched his neck and held his balls and fell to the ground.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the heads of all the soldiers of the Vanguard Company, what is this? what is this!

The commander of Pioneer Company was so blessed that he suddenly figured out why the enemy did this and why they chose such a barbaric method instead of bombarding them.

Because of the name "one-horned rhinoceros"! The enemy is clearly laughing at them, mocking their incompetence with practical actions. "One-horned rhinoceros" are known for being brutal and domineering, but the opponent in front of them smashed their boastful capital to pieces.

In his eyes, "one-horned rhino", "brown bear", and "sabre-toothed tiger" are a group of weak native chickens and dogs.

"Hahahaha, boys, have you tasted how powerful Master Howson is? Obediently offer your chrysanthemums, and I promise to be as gentle as possible." In the cockpit of the siege tank, Howson's face was flushed, and his expression was as if he was crawling in the dark. There is no difference between the flower pickers who went to Miss Rich's embroidered building.

After turning the "Brown Bear" upside down, he turned the front of the car abruptly, the six tracks of the siege tank started, and with a "bang", he hit a "One-horned Rhino" and made a 360-degree turn on the spot .

"Hahahaha, Aros, have you seen it, have you seen it? It's too petty to be like you, this way is more in line with the style of the old man."

Aros laughed loudly, the engine of the siege tank roared again and again, and pressed against the starboard side of a "One-horn Rhinoceros", pushing it tens of meters away, until it smashed a birch tree in two. Only then did he twist the control lever, and rushed towards the "-207" "One-horn Rhinoceros" that was backing up not far away.

"No...no...don't...you don't come here." The driver stepped on the gas pedal hard, with a terrified expression like a long-legged, high-heeled girl in a short black silk skirt who has encountered a satyr.

Howson didn't care about it, turned the horsepower to the maximum, and drove the "-207" out of eight feet with one head.

The siege tank is like a bull rushing into the crowd, covering left and right, rampaging, and its arrogance is the same for a while.

Longfellow was on the verge of collapse. Even though the call from the correspondent of the combat command echoed in his ears, he stared blankly at the images sent by the on-board camera and remained silent.

Under the rough charge of Howson's rugby players, the attack formation formed by the armored brigade and tank troops was torn apart. In the face of his savage collision, "One-horned Rhinoceros" may still retain some combat capability, but "Saber-toothed Tiger" and "Demon Hunter" light land combat vehicles will be in trouble. Because of their large size, most of the "Saber-toothed Tiger" series armored vehicles were knocked over and pulled down, while small missile locomotives like the "Demon Hunter" were knocked into the air, crushed, and ignited into a ball of fire.

Armored vehicles like the One-horned Rhino and the Saber-toothed Tiger resemble frightened rabbits. Spreading out to the left and right, those infantrymen whose mobility was far inferior to the siege tanks were in bad luck. Under the control of Howson, the siege tank is like a large road roller, blood and blood are scattered everywhere it passes, and the ground is devastated.

The bullets fired by the -505 saber hit the thick outer armor of the siege tank without pain or itching, and some soldiers who were unable to dodge were drawn into the bottom of the tank, and then crushed and exploded. Rolled into a brightly colored patty mixed with iron filings.

The "Guardian Knights" that the empire was once proud of, the majestic tuna canned soldiers in the military parade, are like fragile egg skins in front of the siege tanks.

This is simply a catwalk, which belongs to the individuals of Aros and Howson! The former is smart and elegant, with the style of a wise general. And the latter, bold and rough, shows the true qualities of a tiger general.

Longfellow hung up the contact with the combat command in a daze, and looked helplessly at the heavy tanks that had entered the hinterland of the armored brigade. It is like a storm bringer, the crawler passes by. Set off a bloodbath.

There is no doubt that tanks are long-range weapons, and their tasks are mostly positional support and cover for the advance of army troops. But... in the hands of the enemy, it is clearly similar to Lu Wenhou's Wansheng Fang Tianji, where the horse gallops, the gods block and kill gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. Among the armies, it is like entering the land of no one.

A few minutes ago, an armed locomotive. Riding alone, he killed seven in and seven out of his troops. Now, a main battle tank single-handedly destroys thousands of troops with its own power.

Am I dreaming? how can that be!

Heroes, fierce generals, enemies of ten thousand people, and one knight as a thousand are all submerged in the tide of history as early as the day when gunpowder weapons were born. It's the age when weapons are king. The mere bravery of a common man is completely useless in terms of the general situation of the war, and it will even drag down the companions and endanger the battle situation.

But why? Why? One or two enemy combat units can hold back an entire armored brigade of their own. Why? In the end is why!

Longfellow roared hysterically: "Black technology... Black technology, you are simply cheating!"

"Brigade... Brigadier, retreat!" The gunner said tremblingly.

withdraw? That would have to be supported by aerial firepower, otherwise, that brutal guy outside would bake the infantry units into puff pastry dipped in ketchup.

"1 call the eagle, please send air strike support immediately, please send air strike support immediately."

"1, 1, all the fighter planes on standby have been dispatched to defensive positions 2, 3, and 4, and cannot provide air fire cover. You can choose to continue waiting, or contact the combat command, and call for space-based weapon support."

Longfellow was really stunned this time. He thought that only his troops were attacked by the enemy, but he didn't expect that all four long-range firepower points were attacked by the enemy.

Didn't Melville say that the enemy had only a few insignificant infantry? What is this... what is this?

Longfellow felt that he had been tricked by the combat command. The capital military region gathered many armed aircraft from all over the world. Could it be that he couldn't even identify a force to cover his retreat?

Because the wireless network was paralyzed by strong electromagnetic interference, the entire data link combat network was also severely affected. Right now, the laser satellites are only used to restore combat communication. It will take a few minutes to restart the global data link combat network.

Under such circumstances, Longfellow naturally did not know how his colleagues were faring. In fact, compared with the combat troops of the three defense points 2, 3, and 4, the situation faced by his armored brigade is much easier.

It is true that this place has become a personal stage for Aros and Howson, and he has suffered a lot of humiliation. But...Compared with the three long-range firepower points -102, -103, and -104, and the three forward defensive positions 2, 3, and 4, the main enemy his troops faced was only one vulture tank, A siege tank. The other three armored brigades under the 288th Division were not so lucky. In addition to the 15 siege tanks roaring endlessly in the buffer zone of the research institute, there were also 30 Hellfire chariots and 30 Vulture chariots. In just ten minutes, Longfellow's armored brigade was reduced by half, while the other three armored brigades were almost completely wiped out.

"Attention all tanks, form a defensive formation centered on the 'Double-Headed Rhinoceros' to cover the retreat of infantry and light armored vehicles." The situation cannot be controlled. Although Longfellow is full of grievances, he has no choice but to compromise in the face of the current predicament. The defeat of the government army is the general trend. The only thing he can do now is to preserve the vitality of the army as much as possible.

A large number of "one-horned rhinoceros" flocked to Longfellow's "two-headed rhinoceros" giant tank, and the infantry who fled like frightened birds also changed into a retreat formation under the scolding of grassroots officers, and began to retreat northward in an orderly manner.

The smoke grenade launcher of the "Sabertooth Tiger" fired smoke grenades into the air, and the "Demon Hunter" also threw tinfoil into the air, and then retreated quickly with the help of the smoke screen.

"Huh? Don't play anymore?" Howson frowned as he looked at the armored brigade combat unit receding like a tide in front of him: "You go as soon as you say, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Damn it." With a loud curse, he turned his attention to the "two-headed rhinoceros" at the core of the formation, kicked the accelerator to the end, and the siege tank rushed straight up with a "woo". (To be continued..)
