Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 723 Chapter 723

The sound of the tank engine broke the tranquility of the village. The rolling tracks smashed through the fence, and the slender barrel rushed out of the bushes first, followed by the most striking sloping armor of the Leopard tank.

Liu Guozhu poked his head out and observed the low-lying field in the distance with a telescope. On the ridge over there, there were still some ammunition boxes piled up that were too late to take away.

Obviously, the Dahua army had been stationed here, but later they should have discovered the approach of the Tang army, and then fled in a panic.

Before the civilians in the village had time to escape, they watched the tank that was almost bigger than their house rumbled past their door, shaking the mud on the courtyard wall and falling straight down.

"113 calls 115! 113 calls 115! It's safe here! There are no Dahua troops!" Liu Guozhu pressed the communicator and notified the friendly tanks that were advancing together.

The commander of the tank replied jokingly: "115 heard it! 115 heard it! I saw it too! They lost a lot of things on my side."

On the other side of the village, the No. 115 tank was parked next to a pile of belongings discarded by the Dahua army, as if it was guarding these rags.

Because it was too late to take it away, a 100mm caliber howitzer was discarded here, and there were several ammunition boxes next to it. There were no shells in them, and some shell casings were scattered around.

In the previous battle, the artillerymen of the Dahua army obviously shelled the Tang army here, but Liu Guozhu and the others were not attacked by artillery shells. God knows where these Dahua troops fired their artillery.

Next to the cannon, there was a carriage with broken wheels, and the reins were hanging messily on the shaft. Obviously this was the main reason why the Dahua army abandoned the cannon.

"Did you see the mound to the south? And that forest! I bet Dahua's troops must have retreated there." Liu Guozhu looked at the surrounding terrain and said firmly to the commander of No. 115.

"Let me see! There is a house blocking my view! Wait a minute! Okay, I saw it... Judging from the terrain, they may indeed have retreated there." The captain of car No. 115 agreed Liu Guozhu's judgment.

Obviously, after suffering several losses, the enemy did not quickly retreat along the road, because the Tang Army's lion-style armored reconnaissance vehicles had been searching for the main force of the Dahua army along the road.

If the opponent retreats along the road, he will definitely be discovered, and he will be caught up and strangled by the more maneuverable Tang Jun.

Therefore, after being wiped out several times, the opponent gave up their attempt to retreat along the road: they suffered heavy losses in the battle for several villages west of Wangchun City, and were subsequently surrounded by the counterattacking Tang army.

Two huge encirclement circles were quickly formed, and the slow-moving Dahua troops were now prisoners of the Tang army.

About 10 people were surrounded in the Tang army's pockets, and then these temporarily assembled troops with almost no supplies surrendered their guns.

After losing a large number of troops again, the surrounding Dahua commanders finally realized that their plan to counterattack Wangchun City might have been a little too optimistic, so they soon began to retreat.

The battle has been going on all the time, but the Dahua army was the attacking side before, and the Tang army deployed pockets to wait for work.

Now the whole scene is reversed. The Dahua troops in the area east of Cangjian Gorge are retreating, while the Tang army, which is not in large numbers, is attacking.

In this general environment, Redman reported the situation encountered, and Tang Mo and Lu Fu, who were far away in Chang'an of the Tang Kingdom, also quickly seized the opportunity: they clearly realized that the area east of the Cangjian Gorge did not seem to be There is no main force of the Dahua army!

Therefore, the original battle plan to cut off the logistics supply line of the Dahua army near Xicong was immediately revised to be very vague: "find the enemy and fight in the area east of Zangjian Gorge".

Redman, who received the order, immediately took advantage of his own air force and armored forces, disrupted the area east of the relatively flat Cangjian Gorge, and devoured as many Dahua troops as possible. Vitality.

So when the task was assigned to the troops, the order everyone got was a rough "Keep attacking!"

"Let's go over there and have a look! If Dahua's troops are hiding there, two tanks will be able to kill them." Liu Guozhu put down the binoculars and continued to suggest to the commander of car No. 115.

The commander of the No. 115 car did not refuse either. To be honest, he has already figured out how powerful his tank is in the past two days.Even if there is an entire infantry battalion of the Dahua Army over there, there is no danger of their two tanks killing them.

However, he still put forward his own opinion: "Let's just drive the tanks there. Anyway, no matter whether there is a Dahua army or not, the vision over there is better."

"Okay! Keep in formation! Avoid the road, they may plant landmines." Liu Guozhu reminded, and then gave an order to his driver: "The mound on the left! Drive over! Let's go ahead! Car No. 115 follow us!"

"Understood!" The operator immediately responded to Liu Guozhu's order. He slightly adjusted the direction of the tank, broke a small tree brutally, and drove towards the mound over there.

Beside the tank, a child from Dahua village was naked, sniffling his nose, waiting for the huge tank in front of him to walk away with his big eyes.

Only then did the woman hiding in the house realize that her child hadn't followed her into the house, she rushed out madly, hugged her son in the undisturbed exhaust of the tank, dragged her into the house, and violently pulled him away. A child's ass.

Because the advancing speed was so fast, Liu Guozhu and his two tanks didn't even follow the grenadiers.

The two tanks rushed up the hillside one after the other, and then Liu Guozhu and the commander of the No. 115 tank froze there.

There was a mess in front of their eyes, there were hundreds of white tents, Dahua tanks parked around the tents, and some trucks.

At the same time, they also saw the bomb crater on the ground, the thrown aside table and all kinds of mess.

There are soldiers' clothes, backpacks, some stretchers, and the bodies of soldiers who fell on the ground.

Obviously, the Dahua troops stationed here have completed their assembly. It is estimated that there is a battalion of infantry and seven or eight tanks.They were likely to be with the Dahua troops who abandoned the village, but they were attacked by the Datang Air Force when they were stationed here.

There are fallen military horses next to the crater, but none of these dead horses have saddles on them.This shows that the Dahua troops stationed here were not ready for battle. They were suddenly attacked and fled in all directions.

In the end, the opponent's commander...if he was still alive after the air strike ended, he abandoned the camp and left with the rest of the troops, leaving only a mess.

"We are still one step late, otherwise there should be a bloody battle." The commander of the No. 115 tank overlooked the entire destroyed camp and said with emotion.

"That's right! If they learn to hide from the air, they might be able to last us until we arrive here." Liu Guozhu also looked down at this tragic battlefield, nodded and said.

This is just his emotion, in fact, saying it is tantamount to not saying it.Because the fixed bunkers of the Dahua Empire will more or less have some air defense camouflage, and the troops on the move have no concept of air defense at all.

Because most of their military supplies have only begun to be replaced on a large scale in the past two years, they have not adapted to today's battlefield environment at all.

Their tents are still mainly white, and they also use many black carriages. Compared with the Datang troops, which are almost all camouflaged, the degree of camouflage is not a bit worse.

Somewhat dispirited, Liu Guozhu ordered the car to reverse, and found a place with relatively high grass to hide. The No. 115 tank also chose a position on the side, and they vacated the possible direction of the enemy's attack.

Obviously, if there are any enemies nearby, they should be in the woods.But Liu Guozhu and the others didn't want to go to the woods to make trouble for themselves.

Now that the opponent has been terrified by the air strikes, it is unlikely to organize troops to counterattack in a short time.It is wise to wait for the scouting troops who have traveled a long way to bring back news before acting.

Soon, the company headquarters came to the village behind them, and the battalion's communication vehicle and supply vehicle also arrived.

The supply personnel who followed the convoy moved the gasoline barrels off the truck in a hurry, and then filled up every tank with diesel as much as possible.

The air was filled with the strange smell of diesel, and those who wanted to smoke had to go out of the village to the wilderness farther to light a fire.

Liu Guozhu leaned on his tank, took out a piece of melted candy from his pocket, twisted the candy wrapper, and stuffed the deformed candy into his mouth.

A scent of sweetness immediately filled his mouth. Although the purity of the candy in the food supplies distributed by the army is not high, for a young man, this taste can really refresh his mind.

It had been two days since they had left the village where the melee had been fought, and during these two days they had been attacking westward without even digging a trench.

Tang Jun actually adopted an offensive posture on this defensive front, which is really unexpected.

Not only did Dahua not think of it, but even Tang Jun himself didn't think of it.The tank battalion where Liu Guozhu is located is attacking westward, and they have protruded the entire line of defense for nearly 70 kilometers!

This is a huge protrusion, too big to be ignored: even Tang Jun himself feels that the results they have achieved are a bit too big.

"What did the above say? Continue to drive forward?" The driver of No. 115 car came to Liu Guozhu's side, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
