Alien Arms Empire.

When Liu Guozhu arrived at the outskirts of Fengjiang City, their task had changed from assisting the 7th Army to break into Fengjiang City to expanding the defense line to the two wings of Fengjiang City.

In other words, their task is to attack the two wings along the periphery of Fengjiang City, making a gesture of encircling Fengjiang City and threatening the two wings of Fengjiang City.

Therefore, when the 7th Army competed room by room with the garrisoned Dahua troops in Fengjiang City, the 1st Armored Division of the Tang Army began a fierce battle with the Qin Army on the flanks of Fengjiang City.

A Leopard tank moved its body slowly on the battlefield, and Liu Guozhu, who was sitting on the commander's seat, carefully searched for possible places where the enemy might appear.

In such an unsafe place, he would not poke his head out easily: before, a tank commander of the Tang Army was shot by a sniper because he poked out his upper body to direct the battle, so the armored troops of the Tang Army Begin to strictly require car captains to pay attention to their own safety.

Putting his face against the slit of the observation window, and watching the gunpowder smoke on the battlefield through the narrow and long slit of the observation window, Liu Guozhu saw a messy battlefield.

There are bomb craters everywhere, and destroyed trenches everywhere.Some corpses can still be vaguely seen beside the crater, most of them belonged to the Qin army, and a few belonged to the Dahua army.

"Front left!" Liu Guozhu saw a suspicious target, and there seemed to be something hidden there: "11 o'clock direction! It seems to be an anti-tank gun! Can you see it?"

"I seem to have seen it!" After adjusting the orientation of the turret, the gunner put his face on the scope and replied, "I'm not sure, it may be a false target, or it may be a destroyed artillery position..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sudden flash of light through the scope.After the flash, a puff of white smoke rolled out immediately after.

"Huh! Dang!" A shell roared in an instant, directly hitting the front armor of the Leopard tank.

However, this shell failed to penetrate the thick front armor of the Leopard tank, and was bounced off by the inclined armor and flew aside.

The huge force made the advancing tank tremble, as if it had been hit hard by a hammer, and Liu Guozhu was also shuddered.

"We've been hit!" The radio operator yelled nervously. There was only a layer of armor plate between him and the shell.

"I know! I haven't been penetrated!" Liu Guozhu comforted his subordinates loudly: "Fire after aiming! Stop! Stop!"

The Leopard tank lightly stopped in place, and the machine guns and rifles of the surrounding Qin army began to fire violently. The bullets hit the tank, hitting the armor on the tank like raindrops.

"Boom!" The Leopard tank fired a shell, but because of the hasty aiming, this shell hit the mud bunker in front of the Qin Army's anti-tank gun position, changed the trajectory, and was fired. Fly far away.

"Missed! Missed!" Liu Guozhu yelled loudly as he watched his shells fly out.

"I know! High-explosive shells! This time load high-explosive shells!" The gunner shouted loudly, and then the loader pushed a high-explosive shell into the barrel.

"Loading is complete!" After the breech block was closed, the strong loader reported loudly, and the gunner immediately fired the second cannon.

The shell hit the mound slightly in front of the bunker again, but this time the shell was not bounced off, but exploded immediately after hitting the bunker.

The rising smoke blocked the line of sight, and there was no way to know whether the anti-tank gun position had been destroyed.

However, the loader still pulled out a grenade from the ammunition rack next to him under the command, and pushed it into the barrel.

"Loading is complete!" After the action was completed, the loader confirmed loudly.

"Forward! Forward!" Liu Guozhu ordered loudly.

Accompanied by his order, the exhaust pipe at the rear of the Leopard tank that had just been hit by a single shot spewed out a puff of black smoke, and its huge body began to move forward again.

Once again, Liu Guozhu looked at the smoking place through the observation window in the slightly shaking tank, and he wanted to determine immediately whether the anti-tank gun that threatened their tank had been destroyed.

In fact, the so-called anti-tank guns are their internal names. These artillery guns may not be professional anti-tank guns, but the enemy uses them to attack tanks.

Even if it is a howitzer or anti-aircraft gun, as long as it fires at the tank, in the eyes of tankers, this artillery is a standard "anti-tank gun".

"Pay attention! The anti-tank artillery position just now! I'm still not sure if it has been destroyed!" Liu Guozhu reminded his gunner loudly.

The gunner was also very cautious: "Understood! I'm staring at it! The other party didn't continue to fire, it seems..."

Before he could finish his sentence, another shell flew towards him. This time the shell missed Liu Guozhu's tank, but hit the side of Liu Guozhu's tank, splashing a piece of mud.

The opponent used a solid bullet that would not explode, which looked very much like the armor-piercing bullet used by Tang Jun himself.It's just that the chamber pressure of the opponent's artillery seems to be insufficient, and the armor-piercing ability seems a bit inferior.

"It's still firing! It's still firing!" Seeing that his tank was almost hit again, the gunner yelled loudly in fright.

"I saw it! The original position! Around 11 o'clock! On the edge of the gunpowder! Can you see it?" Liu Guozhu saw the enemy artillery firing at them through the gap.

"Stop! I'm ready to fire!" During the march, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, so the gunner shouted loudly.

"Stop!" Liu Guozhu commanded skillfully.

Through the gap in the observation window, he could see the enemy's position in the distance, and the opponent was nervously adjusting the artillery, preparing for the next fire.Both sides are racing against time, preparing to eliminate their opponents at the next shot.

The Leopard tank shook slightly and then stopped, and the enemy's artillery position, which had been in the gunner's artillery sight all the time, became stationary on the scale line.

The gunner stepped on the firing pedal, and a shell flew out of the muzzle, cut through the air, and hit the side of the anti-tank gun position, kicking up a cloud of mud.

"Missed! You missed!" Liu Guozhu, who had been observing all the time, saw the impact of the shell. Compared with the first time, this time the impact of the shell seemed to be a bit more off.

"Damn it!" cursed the gunner, and shouted again: "Loader! Go on HE!"

"High-explosive shell! Load!" The loader immediately pulled out a new shell after hearing the order, pushed it into the barrel, and closed the breech block: "Filling is complete!"

Compared with those tanks with tall targets, the anti-tank artillery positions hidden in the positions are indeed sometimes more difficult to deal with.

With good cover and concealed appearance, these artillery used as temporary anti-tank weapons are very threatening, and they are also one of the most hated opponents of Tang army tankers.

"Boom!" Another puff of white smoke rose from the opponent's position, and a shell landed not far behind the side of the Leopard tank.

The opponent also missed, wasting another excellent opportunity.In this kind of sudden battle in a short period of time, the shooting accuracy is actually not very high, and it needs to rely on the rate of fire to continuously correct it.

Obviously, Tang Jun's 75mm caliber long-barreled gun had a higher rate of fire. The Leopard tank stopped in place to complete reloading, and then fired again, firing a shell.

This time, the good luck of Qin's defenders seemed to have run out.The shell directly knocked off the shield of the artillery, and some artillerymen's limbs and arms were broken.

The Tang grenadiers who followed the Leopard tank began to charge, and the loud bugle resounded across the sky, and the Qin army's defense line collapsed again as a matter of course.

It seems that when facing the attack of Tang troops, the brave Qin army collapsed faster and faster, and their defense line seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

"What kind of monster is that? What kind of monster is that?" I watched as my 76mm anti-aircraft gun fired flatly. It obviously hit the strange tank that I had never seen before, but the shell was bounced off by the tilted front armor of the tank. Already, a Qin soldier shouted in fear.

A tank that cannot be destroyed is a nightmare for infantry.The Qin army concentrated its firepower in the hope of destroying the Tang army's Leopard tank, but found that this new tank was much stronger than the No. 4 tank they faced before, whether it was front or side.

After repeated efforts failed, the Qin army began to retreat.They began to not understand why the Tang army had so many advanced weapons that they could not fight, nor why the Tang army had so many shells that they could not finish them.

In many fierce battles, the Qin army has clearly recognized the gap between the two sides in terms of weaponry and firepower density, and the huge losses have exceeded the expectations of the Qin generals.

This made the Qin army begin to re-examine this war that had nothing to do with them, and think about why they continued to fight with such a difficult opponent.

On the one hand, the reason why their lips are dead and their teeth are cold makes them have to continue to bind the Dahua Empire to fight against the rising Tang Kingdom on the east coast.

On the other hand, they moved some thoughts that they didn't dare to move easily before: Is the hegemony of the Dahua Empire doomed to collapse, and is the day of Qin's success coming?

Under the entanglement, the performance of the originally pure and tough Qin army on the battlefield changed a little.Intuitively reflected in the battle, the performance is that Qin Jun began to save himself and began to retreat more naturally.

They figured it out, but the Dahua Empire wanted to lose an important defensive position for this.In just one day, a quarter of the defensive positions outside Fengjiang City were captured by the 1st Armored Division of the Tang Army.
