Chapter 197
When the Soviet tanks were still more than 2 kilometers away, the leading Guardian main battle tank opened fire decisively.
The Guardian main battle tank was driving on the snowfield at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
Its 120mm caliber smoothbore gun~ opened fire
"boom......"
A fin-stabilized armor-piercing shell whizzed out and headed for a T-28 medium tank more than 2 kilometers away.
This is a medium tank with a combat weight of 27 tons, equipped with a 76mm short-barreled tank gun and a speed of 45 kilometers per hour.
Among the Soviet troops, this is also their most powerful tank.
Although the number of equipment is not large
"Is this a Chinese tank? ? ?"
When they saw the Guardian main battle tank clearly, the Soviet tank driver took a breath of cold air.
From a distance, it seemed nothing. But when they saw it up close, they realized that their tank seemed to be completely different from the enemy's tank.
"The Chinese opened fire."
When the driver saw smoke coming out of the muzzle of the other tank, he knew that the other side had opened fire and shouted.
But he was not worried. At such a long distance, the chance of the other side hitting it was very low.
However, the whistling shell kept expanding in his pupils.
Just when he wanted to shout something, he could no longer shout.
"boom...."
"boom....."
The 20-ton tank was directly penetrated by the tungsten-metal armor-piercing projectile.
The warhead penetrated the armor, and the violent metal jet instantly swept the inside of the tank.
Under the sweep of the metal jet, the tank crew inside was immediately shot and killed.
Then the flames swept, and the turret was directly blown away.
The whole tank also burned violently.
Then there was another more violent explosion.
This is a tank with a gasoline engine.
The gasoline pipeline was broken, and then the high temperature swept the ammunition rack.
A violent explosion occurred immediately.
One shot, just one shot directly blew up this 20-ton medium tank on the spot.
Then several explosions sounded in the Soviet tank marching troops.
Three more tanks followed and turned into a ball of fire on the spot.
At a distance of more than 2 kilometers, the hit rate can be so high.
This scene simply stunned the Soviet army.
With an integrated optical rangefinder, electromechanical analog ballistic computer, bidirectional stabilizer, and experienced gunners, it is completely normal for the first round to hit a tank more than 2 kilometers away while moving.
"Engage the enemy quickly and speed up!"
"Shoot at them and disrupt their formation."
The Soviet army was also very decisive.
After seeing the long-range sniping of the Guardian main battle tank, they decisively issued an order to accelerate the attack.
Because now even if they want to run, it is too late.
The two sides are head-on in this unknown snowfield, deciding life and death and who is better.
Both sides have no way to retreat.
The 12th Armored Brigade adopted a dispersed formation and continued to advance at a constant speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
At this time, the entire Soviet tank unit has entered the range of more than 100 Guardian tanks.
"boom...boom....boom......boom......"
Tank guns roared continuously.
From time to time, a Soviet tank was blown up on the spot.
Even the 12th Armored Brigade did not use armor-piercing shells.
Because the opponent's tanks were too small and the armor was very weak.
There was no need for more expensive armor-piercing shells.
Just use armor-breaking shells and armor-piercing shells.
Even high-explosive shells can directly blow up the opponent.
The morale of the Soviet army has been hit to pieces.
The marching team is in complete chaos and there is no order at all.
Moreover, their tank guns have a small caliber, a short range, and low accuracy.
Moreover, their tanks have no stabilizers and can only stop to shoot.
When they stopped, they became targets on the Chinese side.
The shells they fired almost did not hit the Chinese tanks.
Instead, a T-26 light tank hit the Guardian main battle tank.
But its 45mm caliber armor-piercing shells could not pose a threat to the Guardian main battle tank at all.
At that time, the Soviet army finally realized the huge gap between the two sides.
The two sides were not opponents of the same level.
They were completely prey to the Chinese tanks. They were beaten dizzy in the snow, and then they were blown up one by one.
"Retreat, disperse and retreat."
There was no need to command the tanks to shout, the Soviet tanks had already started to run around and fled.
"Surround them, don't let them escape"
"Boom boom boom......"(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
At this time, in the low altitude of the snowy field, a number of Gazelle attack helicopters appeared above the battlefield as if they were rising from the ground.
These attack helicopters were from the 1st Attack Helicopter Battalion of the 12th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 12th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Third Army.
There were a total of 36 Gazelle attack helicopters.
Their arrival also meant that the end of this Soviet tank unit had come.
"whoosh whoosh whoosh......"[]
The flying doe was hit by a barrage of aerial rockets.
The Soviet small tanks could not withstand the attack of 70mm rockets.
Among these rockets, there were also WT-1 Mingdi anti-tank missiles.
This was a joint land and air stranglehold operation against the Soviet tank forces.
More than 200 tanks did not escape in the end.
In this battle that lasted only an hour, the Soviet tank forces were completely wiped out.
At this time, the infantry troops following behind them had not caught up.
It is obvious that the Soviet army does not know how to use tanks at all, or they still regard tanks as infantry support weapons.
Since they dare to let tanks march alone
"keep going"
"Armored troops, charge!"
The 12th Mechanized Infantry Division, as a defensive force, also joined the offensive against the Soviet army in front.
For the most elite force of the Chinese National Defense Army, their motto is: offense is the best defense.
And now they are doing this.
The Soviet army's multiple armies were hit by air strikes and became chaotic.
Just as they dispersed their forces and avoided the air strikes, the main force of the Third Army had arrived.
As a mechanized marching force, their speed was very fast.
Even so fast that the Soviet army did not react.
When they were still avoiding the air strikes, they saw the mechanized armored army sweeping in like a steel torrent.
"The Chinese tanks are their tanks."
"Monster, this is a monster."
At this time, the Apocalypse heavy tank also appeared on the battlefield.
This heavy tank with double barrels attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
As the main battle weapon of the Red Alert base, the Apocalypse tank was born at the wrong time.
Its double-barreled gun has extremely powerful armor-piercing capabilities.
Unfortunately, there is no tank of this level for it to fight.
When it can do something, basically the Guardian main battle tank can do it.
So this impressive main battle weapon has become a supporting role.
But it doesn't mean that it is really a supporting role.
"Boom....."
There were two consecutive roars, and the shells whizzed into the crowd of Soviet troops.
A motorized infantry of more than 20,000 people encountered a mechanized division of more than 20,000 people on the snowfield.
This was a collision between steel and flesh and blood.
This Soviet army of more than 20,000 people was penetrated at a single pierce.
It was completely disrupted by the armored forces of the 12th Mechanized Infantry Division.
It was divided into one area after another, and then it was targeted and strangled.
Dense gunfire sounded in this area.
Although the Soviet army was already fighting hard.
But facing the infantry-tank coordinated combat of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
Their anti-tank force was very weak, and they had almost no ability to destroy the Guardian main battle tank.
Even if they used suicide attacks, they did not have much effect.
Because the tanks were covered by infantry fighting vehicles and infantry.
Their people basically could not get close to the tanks.
In addition to this side, the main forces of the Soviet army in several other places also encountered the mechanized army of the Third Army.
The battle lasted less than a day and ended.
In this battle, the Third Army annihilated more than 30,000 enemies and captured more than 80,000 enemies.
Afterwards, the Third Army did not rest.
Instead, it rushed directly towards the Galkino Line of Defense.
The defense line of the Soviet Far East Special Army is here.
As long as this Soviet army is defeated, all the towns east of Chita will be exposed to the front of the Chinese National Defense Army.
If Moscow can still hold its temper.
