Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 915 916 Position Breakthrough Chariot
"Finally it's our turn to play!" The captain of the Dahua tank, who leaned out half of his body, put down the binoculars, pressed the communicator, and gave the driver an attack order: "Forward! Cover the infantry assault."

After he gave the order, the tank under him began to move forward, because the ground was uneven, and his body shook slightly with the bumps of the tank.

The Type 3 tanks on the flanks also began to roll their tracks forward, and the infantry behind the tanks was densely packed, there were hundreds of them.

The main force of the armored forces of the Dahua Empire, the pride of pride, the 5st Heavy Tank Regiment equipped with Type 1 tanks, lined up in front of the position, covering the infantry. Since the outbreak of the Fengjiang Civil War, the Dahua Empire has The largest single attack ever.

Under the cover of two companies of Type 5 tanks and two companies of Type 3 tanks, a whole regiment of infantry attacked Fengjiang's defense line.

On the turret of the Type 5 tank, the commander with half of his body exposed retracted into the vehicle and closed his hatch.

Through the narrow observation window, he saw the battlefield full of gunpowder smoke, and also saw the Fengjiang garrison position that was still exploding violently.

More than 50 artillery pieces were responsible for covering this attack. The shells fell like raindrops on the Fengjiang army's position, and the thick smoke that was raised up covered the sky and the sun.

Under such dense firepower coverage, it is really hard to say how many intact parts of the position will remain intact. The small number of troops stationed on the position will also suffer huge losses.

Because of the extension of the artillery, the second-line troops entering the position will also be hindered, and there will be a short period of vacuum in the positions covered by the artillery.

And this time, the biggest reliance of the Dahua Empire's troops is these Type 120 tanks with a frontal armor thickness of more than 5 mm, slow movements but full of deterrence.

"Straight ahead! Machine gun bunker!" In the smoke, a machine gun bunker exposed in advance was spraying flames.Captain Dahua, who saw the target through the observation window, calmly gave the order to attack.

He is a commander who is one in a thousand, and his quality is naturally excellent.The tanks he commands are the best in the Dahua Empire, and this is also the source of his confidence.

The tank's tracks ran over a corpse that had begun to rot long ago, crushed the bones in the gaps between the tracks, and drove towards the enemy's position little by little.

It's not that the tanks of the Dahua Empire are so idle on purpose, but because the engines of these tanks really can't make their tanks faster.

These tanks can only move forward at a speed of less than 15 kilometers per hour at the fastest. When encountering any larger obstacles, it is necessary to consider whether to detour.

But these tanks exchanged speed for heavy armor: even the long-barreled 75mm tank gun of the Leopard tank may not be able to penetrate the front armor of these Type 5 tanks at normal combat distances.

Although Dahua Empire's medium-caliber 90mm caliber tank gun still has hip performance, it is indeed a good choice for the "position breakthrough tank" of the Type 5 tank.

Because on the one hand, its caliber is large enough to be used temporarily as an "assault gun", on the other hand, it does have a little anti-tank capability, and it can also be used as an anti-tank gun.

Maybe even the tank designers of the Dahua Empire didn't know that what they designed by accident was not a qualified tank, but a "poor mouse-type position breakthrough tank"...

Therefore, when there is no real tank like the Leopard tank, which is faster than their forward speed when reversing, the Type 5 tank can indeed display amazing combat effectiveness in a suitable environment.

When bullying Fengjiang defenders who do not have advanced tanks, the heavy tanks of the Dahua Empire can be described as invincible.

The flame-spitting machine gun bunker only existed for a few minutes before it was thrown into the air by a 5mm tank gun of a Type 90 tank.

The elite main force of the Dahua Empire with sufficient training and high morale played their value in the less intense crushing battle: the first shot hit the target, and they immediately showed their momentum.

The suppression disappeared, and the Dahua troops immediately got up from the ground and continued to advance.They are getting closer and closer to the defensive position of the Fengjiang defenders, and there are more and more bomb craters on the ground.

The Fengjiang defenders on the opposite side discovered this type 3 tank that was taller and more terrifying than the type 5 tank at the first time.

Then these Fengjiang defenders immediately found the strongest anti-tank weapon they could find: a 76mm anti-aircraft gun.

At a distance of about 700 meters, the 76 anti-aircraft gun opened fire, and the first shot missed the target.Then the 76 gun kept trying to destroy the Type 5 tanks in front of it, but at a distance of 500 meters, a shell from the 76 gun hit the armor of the Type 5 tank, and the shell was blown away!

Yes, the bomb flew!Everyone saw the lightning-like cannonball, and then the cannonball hit the front armor of the No. 5 tank, and was immediately thrown into the sky.

Possibly because the Type 5 tank wasn't facing the 76 directly, so the armor had a nice angle.The scene of the shell being bounced away completely broke the confidence of the nearby Fengjiang defenders.

The Dahua Empire tanks that had discovered the anti-tank artillery position began to stop, and then aimed their muzzles at the 76mm anti-aircraft gun.

Two shells hit the vicinity of the 76 gun almost at the same time, stirring up a piece of mud.Then the third artillery hit the target, and the parts of the 76 artillery were lifted into the air, and the surrounding Fengjiang soldiers were dead or wounded, and they had already lost their combat effectiveness.

"It's really vulnerable!" Seeing that the opponent's anti-tank artillery position was destroyed, the commander of the Dahua Empire in the turret sneered, and continued to issue orders: "Cross the trench! Keep going!"

Accompanied by his order, the Type 5 tank has begun to rush towards the trenches of the Fengjiang defenders.The few Fengjiang soldiers left in the trench scattered like birds and beasts, not even thinking about resisting.

The Dahua infantry jumped into the severely damaged trenches, and saw the corpses of the Fengjiang army lying in disorder.

These corpses are easy to identify. You only need to look at the comfortable Tang Guojun boots on their feet and the M35 helmets scattered in the trenches to clearly identify these soldiers as Fengjiang defenders.

The wide track shattered the edge of the cement-reinforced trench, then carried the dirt across the top of the trench, and shattered the other edge of the trench behind it.

Because the tank was too heavy, those trenches were more or less damaged when the Type 5 tank passed by.

The Dahua infantry who followed up immediately felt relieved, because the heavy tanks rushing ahead had cleared most of the obstacles for them.

The machine gun bunkers were all destroyed without exception, and the remaining Fengjiang defenders who had no time to escape had to raise their hands and surrender.Unable to stop these Type 5 tanks on a rampage, a ring of fortifications appears to be crumbling.

In the Dahua Empire, such turmoil can basically announce the end of a line of defense: they are not the Tang army, and they do not have the courage and resilience of the Tang army to continuously counterattack.

"What? Hello? Tell me clearly! What? The front line is lost?" In the headquarters, the commander of the Fengjiang garrison holding the phone was incompetent and furious, roaring crazily at the phone.

On the other side of the phone, there were intense gunshots from time to time.The officer who reported over there was also in a hurry: "The enemy's tanks can't penetrate! They can't penetrate! Both 76 guns are gone! I don't have any anti-tank guns here!"

"Hold me if you don't! You are not allowed to take a step back! Do you understand? You are not allowed to take a step back!" In the division headquarters, the division commander ordered hysterically.

His superior gave him a death order, but now his division seems to have been under heavy attack by the enemy—just a few minutes ago, his 2nd regiment leader also reported that his position was on the verge of collapse.

"My lord! I have to retreat! The enemy is already dozens of meters away!" The phone hung up after saying this, ignoring the order not to take a step back.

"Master! Master!" An officer rushed in at this time, and reported in despair: "It's over! Our position is all over... The 1st regiment is retreating, and the 2nd regiment has collapsed..."

"Damn it..." Feng Jiang's division commander originally wanted the 3rd regiment to resist, but after thinking about it carefully, he changed the order: "Retreat! Burn things, and go!"

He grabbed the helmet from the wall and put it on his head: "Why are you beating up your own people so hard? If you have the ability to fight goblins..."

After finishing speaking, he walked out, and the adjutant followed closely. The non-commissioned officers and civilian staff around him had already started throwing some documents on the ground, ready to set them on fire.

On that day, the flanks of the circular line of defense on the west side of Fengjiang were breached, and the Fengjiang defenders who had no intention of fighting began to be defeated.They gave up the other circular defense lines that could still be held, and began to retreat towards Fengjiang.

This retreat was nearly a hundred kilometers, and the retreat stopped only 20 to 30 kilometers away from Fengjiang.

After all, Fengjiang is behind them, and if they retreat again, they can be said to have nothing.

Ever since, on the basis of the original temporary defense line, these Fengjiang troops, which have been strengthened by mirage mercenaries, began to strengthen this line of defense.

After the troops of the Dahua Empire chased for nearly 100 kilometers all the way, they didn't have any strength to attack, so they could only stop on the spot and wait for the follow-up troops to follow up.

During this period, they encountered many troubles. For example, when Fengjiang's troops retreated, they destroyed the railway, for example, they lost their air supremacy...

However, Zhao Chen still won a hearty victory, and now his vanguard is very, very close to Fengjiang.
