Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 425 Domestically Produced Drones Are Awesome!!

If the rebel tank commander realized the danger, he could easily destroy Jackie Chan's armored vehicle with a single shot.

Not only can they escape annihilation, but they can also eliminate the most difficult enemies ahead of time.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Jackie Chan used a clever tactic of sacrificing a child to catch a wolf, successfully ensnaring the greedy heart of the rebel commander. Unable to let go of the prey he had in his grasp, the commander's fate was sealed.

"Hold on, keep attracting his attention, give me another thirty seconds," Jackie Chan shouted over the radio.

When Jackie Chan saw the T72B heavy tank get hit, he was worried for them.

But when he turned around and saw that the rebel tank's gun hadn't turned, and was still locked onto the T72B heavy tank, he felt worried for the T72B heavy tank, and his adrenaline began to surge wildly, and his blood began to pump excitedly.

Can he take down the M60 heavy tank in a one-on-one fight, rescue the trapped T72B heavy tank, and save the entire team?

In the next twenty-odd seconds!

"Understood. We can handle it. The rest is up to you."

Zhuang Yan was a smart young man. In order to avoid being hit head-on and to maximize his own protection, he decided to change direction.

It doesn't matter if one of the tracks falls off, as long as one side can still move.

Zhuang Yan pulled the right control stick all the way up, while keeping the left control stick still. The still intact right track began to frantically scratch the ground.

The T72B heavy tank, which had been lying there motionless, began to spin in place, propelled by a single track.

Using the road wheels without tracks as the center point, it took less than ten seconds to turn around and turn the side with intact explosive reactive armor back to the center.

The timing was excellent, absolutely crucial.

"Whoosh—"

The moment the T72B heavy tank turned around, a 105mm shell flew over, leaving a trail of afterimages, and hit the center of the left side of the tank.

That shot was absolutely right on target.

Nearly half a square meter of explosive reactive armor was destroyed by this one shot.

The metal jets ejected from the exploding shells were also blown away by the anti-tank armor, preventing serious damage to the tank. Zhuang Yan and his team escaped death once again.

"Let's see how many more you can take. Keep going."

The rebel tank commander, seeing that the reactive armor had all exploded, had a ruthless look in his eyes and immediately ordered to continue bombarding, hoping to take down the T72B heavy tank with the next shot.

Then they can focus on the armored vehicles and intercept the intruders.

The rebel tank commander's idea was good; with normal logical reasoning or data matching, ignoring armored vehicles was not a problem at all.

Armored vehicles are equipped with either a 20mm autocannon or a 7.62mm secondary weapon.

It poses no threat to the M60 heavy tank!

The rear armor of heavy tanks is relatively weak, which means it is weaker compared to other parts of the tank, not that its rear is made of paper.

No matter how poor the rear armor of a main battle heavy tank is, it is not something that this kind of weapon can threaten.

Even the softest crocodile belly is not something a mouse can penetrate.

Therefore, even though the second shot failed to destroy the T72B heavy tank, the rebel commander still did not turn around to target the armored vehicle that had already bypassed him from the side.

The loader inside the vehicle followed the commander's instructions and quickly loaded new armor-piercing rounds.

As a professional tank loader, even if he wasn't the most skilled, he reloaded the new shell in less than 10 seconds.

"Loading complete."

The loader reported loudly.

"Ready, aim—"

The rebel tank commander drew out the last syllable of his voice, preparing to deliver the final blow to the enemy before him.

But just as the sound reached his throat...

"Bang!"

A loud bang came from the rear of the M60 armored vehicle, mingling with the explosion of the anti-tank armor, startling the four rebels inside the vehicle.

The commander was about to shout "Fire!" but he was so frightened that he swallowed his words back.

He then shouted angrily, "What happened? What's going on?"

The rebel tank commander was extremely puzzled. The enemy had only captured one tank, which was now crippled in front. How could a single shot have hit his rear?

"Fire! Take out those bastards in front!"

To find out what was going on, the rebel tank commander ordered his troops to continue firing at the T-72, and then climbed out to see what was happening outside.

"Bang!"

The rebel artillerymen opened fire.

The shell flew toward the T72B heavy tank, but still failed to penetrate its armor.

It turned out that Zhuang Yan had turned ninety degrees in place, making full use of every part of the armored vehicle's explosive reactive armor, and turned to take the shot head-on.

The T-72B heavy tank, which kept moving forward, had its frontal armor completely intact.

Deflecting this shot is no problem at all.

But that was all they could do to block the last shell, because after blocking that one, the T72B heavy tank was bombed on all four sides.

If the next shot hits, without the protection of explosive reactive armor, the armor of the T72B heavy tank alone will not be able to withstand the heavy gun of the M60.

Fortunately, the mission of the T-72B heavy tank has been completed at this moment.

And it's been done very well!

The remaining stage no longer needs them; Jackie Chan will take over in an armored vehicle, and the battle will soon be over.

Because Jackie Chan successfully circled around to the rear of the rebel tanks, he successfully eliminated the explosive reactive armor on the rear of the M60 with the first high-explosive rocket.

All it takes is one more armor-piercing round to eliminate the main battle tank.

That's what Jackie Chan planned, and that's what he did.

Jackie Chan reloaded his weapon incredibly fast. Just as the rebel tank commander climbed out to look back, Jackie Chan had already fired his second rocket.

The rebel tank commander happened to see the rocket flying towards him, its tail flames trailing behind it.

This scene is terrifying.

The rebel tank commander felt a chill run down his spine in an instant.

He didn't have time to do anything, not even to shout "RPG," before the rocket slammed into the tank's rear.

Without the protection of explosive reactive armor, the rear section where the engine is located was easily penetrated by the rocket.

The ultra-high temperature metal jet penetrated and punctured the tank's engine. Under operating conditions, the high pressure imbalance caused the engine to explode.

The M60 tank, which was moving forward, also turned into a tortoise that was stuck at this moment.

But this is not the end.

The M60 heavy tank, whose engine was destroyed, was not completely rendered combat ineffective; it was only rendered immobile, but its turret was still functional.

The scene that Jackie Chan had hoped for—the explosion caused by hitting the fuel tank—did not happen as he had imagined.

Only by causing a secondary explosion can the M60 be dealt with.

After all, it's a heavily armored main battle tank, a behemoth that's not so easy to kill. You can only take it down with skill.

Unfortunately, Jackie Chan wasn't very lucky!

"Move it over here, move it over here, quick, take down that damn armored vehicle!"

Little Karami had delivered a fatal blow to himself. The rebel tank commander was furious. He was about to sweep the entire battlefield, but instead, he had been caught off guard and was now a crippled turtle.

This caused his anger towards the armored vehicles to surge to its peak in an instant.

Being completely ignored and outmaneuvered by Karami is indeed more infuriating and makes people more likely to feel humiliated and angry.

"Speed ​​up, quick, rush over and get close to it."

Before Jackie Chan could even celebrate, he saw the rebel tanks' guns starting to turn around and immediately shouted to Shi Dafan to resolve the crisis in the best way possible.

Tanks are most vulnerable to close-range attacks. Once a tank loses its mobility, close-range combat becomes its Achilles' heel.

Jackie Chan knew very well that if he didn't want to be blown to pieces by a single shot, the only way was to get close to the tank as soon as possible and then figure out a way to finish off the rebel tank.

Unfortunately, I only found two rocket launchers while looting the crate; three would have been perfect.

If you just give Jackie Chan another rocket, and stab that already damaged rear end, you can definitely send that tank flying on the spot.

pity.

There are not many perfect things in the world.

Shi Dafan knew that once hit by a tank cannon, the armored vehicle would be torn to shreds like paper, so he went all out to save his life.

With a force that nearly slammed his foot into the accelerator, the armored vehicle accelerated continuously toward the tank.

However, even with billowing black smoke trailing behind, the armored vehicle's body is still quite bulky, and instant acceleration is not its forte.

Even if you run in the fastest straight line, it will still take a considerable amount of time to get close to the tank.

However, it is much easier for a tank to turn its gun barrel 180 degrees.

It only takes a few seconds to complete.

Seeing that he knew he wouldn't be able to get close enough to the cannon before it was turned around, Shi Dafan broke out in a cold sweat.

Use a serpentine movement pattern to avoid obstacles?

It's no use!

The distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters. The rebel tanks would fire as soon as they locked onto the armored vehicle. With the 105mm shells flying at a speed of over 800 meters per second, even if the armored vehicle twisted into a pretzel, it would not be able to shake them off.

Adopting a strategy of sacrificing the pawn to save the king, seize the point where the shell is coming from, and perform a side drift to take the shell head-on.

That's not a good idea either!

If this shell were a high-explosive armor-piercing shell, given the explosive power of a 105mm shell, both people inside the vehicle would be torn apart by the shockwave.

There's no escaping it, and no way to withstand it.

What should we do then?

Shi Dafan's face was covered in beads of sweat, and Jackie Chan didn't give any more orders because he couldn't think of a better solution.

A few seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

The rebel tank's gun barrel had turned around and locked onto the armored vehicle, which was still more than forty meters away from the tank's position.

"We're doomed!!"

Seeing this scene, Shi Dafan felt utterly hopeless.

On the other hand, inside the rebel tanks, everyone wore a sinister grin, as if they could already see the armored vehicles being torn apart.

Just as the gunner was about to press the red button to fire the shell.

"call out--"

A whooshing sound echoed across the sky.

A missile flew at supersonic speed, leaving a long trail of afterimages in the air, like a sharp sword piercing down from the sky.

The indirect hit was extremely precise, striking the head of the rebel tank exactly.

"Boom!"

Flames soared into the sky, and shockwaves rolled in.

One second the M60 was almost undamaged, the next second it was blown to pieces, and even the turret was blown dozens of meters away.

The missile's immense power clearly indicated that it was a missile that fell from the sky, ripped off the top of the rebel tank, and exploded inside, detonating the shells inside.

This caused a violent secondary explosion that tore the heavy tank apart.

"What's going on here??"

Jackie Chan and Shi Dafan, who had just been shrouded in death, were completely bewildered when they saw the rebel tanks suddenly turn into flames.

On the other side, Zhuang Yan and his group, who had been bombarded from head to toe by artillery shells and had no room to struggle, were also stunned by the sudden "self-destruction" of the rebel tank.

The missiles were falling from the sky at such a high speed that they didn't even see them.

but.

The bewildered state lasted for less than two seconds.

As the rebel tanks were blown to pieces, a rumbling sound came from the sky, and a huge figure could be seen soaring into the sky in a "V" shape before disappearing into the horizon again.

With such a fast flight speed, Jackie Chan and the others, who had been on the Yangzhou for so long, reacted instantly.

This is a large drone from the Yangzhou, which traveled hundreds of kilometers to support them.

This is the power of our motherland!

"Yay!! Well done, the drones are awesome, that was so cool!"

Having escaped death, Shi Dafan was extremely excited at this moment. He couldn't help but open the car door and jump, clenching his fist at the sky to vent his excitement.

Meanwhile, Captain Zhang, who was in charge of the ship's command center on the Yangzhou, which was originally docked outside the port, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The fact that the Flame Dragon Team was able to appear in this place proves that the hostages have definitely been rescued.

This is already outstanding!

"Pass on my orders: immediately find a way to restore communication with the Flame Dragon Team, pinpoint the exact location of the rescue target, and then contact the Ivia government forces to ask where their rescue helicopters are..."

Captain Zhang issued several orders in succession, trying to confirm the specifics of the personnel involved in the operation.

His biggest concern was whether anyone had sacrificed their lives.

Although he didn't want to hear any reports of sacrifice or even injury, things needed to be answered, and he had to find a way to find out.

However, no sooner had he given the order than new information came from the drone.

"Reporting to the captain and political commissar, the drone has detected a suspected rebel armed vehicle approaching a speeding minibus. Dynamic capture confirms that there are many civilians inside the vehicle."

Upon hearing the report from the drone, Captain Zhang, who was already furious with the Yanlong team for their concerns, finally found an outlet for his anger.

He immediately issued the order: "Pass on my order to immediately destroy the rebel armed vehicles and protect the minibuses carrying our personnel."

"receive!"

Upon receiving the command, the drone immediately locked onto the target.

The rebel armed vehicle that was locked onto by the drone was the same vehicle that had previously "deserted" and fled, with a rebel leader sitting inside.

His sudden appearance at the back of the minibus already proved that he hadn't been a "deserter."

Instead, he deliberately played a trick, using the remaining vehicles to hold off Jackie Chan, and then pretending to escape to get around to the front.

They wanted to take advantage of Jackie Chan and the others' inattention and run over to take care of the minibus.

Using an armed vehicle equipped with a heavy machine gun against a minibus full of unarmed hostages is a clear case of overwhelming force.
