Doomsday Commander.

Chapter 169 Tank Battle
When Tang Zheng saw that the alliance's armored forces finally came out of the position, his heart was finally relieved.

It's not easy.

In order to lead the alliance to take the initiative to fight, he didn't even transfer his own Apache.

Apache also has a title called Tank Killer. Its powerful mobility and Hellfire's air-to-ground missiles are the nightmare of all tanks.

If the alliance sees Apache, I'm afraid it will really go to the end.

So in order to attract the alliance, Tang Zheng let Apache stand still in Zhuguang City, and now this move is right.

Without Apache, Tang Zheng is also confident to kill the armored troops on the opposite side.

Mangye town is three to four kilometers away from the alliance position, and there was originally a large farmland area between the two.

Of course, the current farmland is all barren grassland. The dense weeds have grown as high as a person, and they are now completely withered and yellow.

When the alliance's tank troops had just been dispatched, Tang Zheng dispatched his first armored battalion.

Ten 99-A main battle tanks and twenty Type 15 light tanks were dispatched directly and entered the barren grass area.

On the side of the alliance, Xie Jinshan was in a hidden highland and saw the tanks of the Light Chaser Army dispatched.

"Thirty tanks, Tang Zheng is so arrogant!"

"Take your tank troops today and show off the air of birds that have been bombarded these days!"

In the view of Xie Jinshan and others, the main result of a tank battle depends on the number of tanks on both sides.

This time, the alliance paid a price of 5 people to build the armored force, and half of them paid for the armored force.

With a wave of Xie Jinshan's hand, the alliance sent out tanks.

The name of this tank is Octopus SD, which began at the end of the last century and is still the main light tank of the Daliao Army.

The performance is good, and it is more durable.

This tank weighs only 18 tons, which is a typical light tank in terms of weight.

But in terms of firepower, his firepower is not weak at all. The 125mm smoothbore gun makes his firepower comparable to that of ordinary main battle tanks.

The heavy firepower brings advantages, but also disadvantages. His light weight makes his protection power impossible to be too high.

The weak armor is its biggest weakness, and it is basically the kind that will lie down when it is shot.

However, these problems are not a problem in the eyes of Xie Jinshan and others. When the two sides collide within a few kilometers, you will hit each other and I will pay you back. It is basically a war of attrition.

The result of a war of attrition is that the party with the largest number wins.

The commanders of both sides were full of confidence, and the tank group rumbled into the wasteland, launching the first official collision between the alliance and the light-chasing army.

On the alliance side, a man named Sha Changhe commanded the armored group to fight.

This man was born in the Imperial Royal Army and was a military training instructor for the Union.

He was in the alliance a long time ago, and was discovered by Xie Jinshan and entrusted with the important task of helping the alliance train troops.

He trained the alliance troops back then, although those troops had never achieved any brilliant results, and were even wiped out by zombies in Zhuguang City.

But obviously, without his training, the league wouldn't even have a capable team, and Xie Jinshan still trusts him.

This time the Alliance Armored Forces went out, he was the battlefield commander and also a tank commander.

Before setting off, he formulated a simple tactic.

That is to rush in the middle, attract firepower, and then surround and annihilate on both sides.

He divided the sixty tanks into three groups, thirty in the middle and fifteen on each side.

With such an arrangement, he planned to never exile any tank from the Guangjun Army to escape.

The chariot rumbled into the wild grass, the metal tracks crushed the ground, and the tank duel between the two sides began.

Sha Changhe's tanks walked in the first echelon, and the sight was somewhat blocked by the grass.

However, he is still proficient in manipulating the vehicle radar, and keeps in touch with his subordinates at any time.

"Check the ammo!"

"Check the fire control system!"

"Pay attention to the enemy's position."

Sha Changhe kept sending out instructions one after another, making the observers and gunners busy nervously.

Accompanied by the sound of clattering tracks, the two sides quickly approached.

"Officer Sha, the target is within our range."

"Adjust the angle, the target is at 11 o'clock."

The wild grass is shaking outside the observation mirror, and the accuracy of determining the direction is not very good. Now it is very dependent on the radar field of view.

"Contact the No. car on the left and let them fire first!"

Sha Changhe did not fire the first shot. This kind of head-on bombardment does not have a great technical content. There may not be much advantage in firing first, but it is easier to expose.

"Car No. , prepare to fire!"

A tank located in the front left of Sha Changhe first encountered the Light Chasing Army.

With Sha Changhe's order, the alliance fired the first shot of the battle.

"Boom~~!"

The 125mm smoothbore gun fired violently, and a shell flew out, exploding in the distance.

"Officer Sha, the weeds affected the shooting accuracy, so I missed a hit!"

"Trash! Be careful of the enemy's counterattack."

Observation was greatly affected by the wild grass, and they could only rely on radar to fight, which made the fledgling Alliance armored force a little uncomfortable.

Sha Changhe's order had just been issued, and the opponent's tanks also fired.

A ball of flames exploded in front of the left, and flames and black smoke burst out from No. car.

The turret was bombarded by the opponent, and some were separated from the body.

This tank is broken!

Sha Changhe's face was stern, and he was not affected. He calmly directed the No. vehicle behind him and his own vehicle to focus on the light-chasing army vehicles whose positions had been exposed.

Two tanks fired at the same time, and one of them hit the enemy tank without knowing who it was.

"Nice job!"

Sha Changhe swung his fist fiercely, and this time he finally let out a breath of anger.

He wanted to ruthlessly annihilate, completely defeat the Light Chasing Army, and break Tang Zheng's myth of invincibility, otherwise this guy would become a nightmare for the Alliance.

He turned the muzzle to look for other enemies.

Car No. continued to move forward, obviously the hit just now gave them confidence.

But before the No. car ran out for tens of meters, the opponent's shelling suddenly arrived again!

Boom~~!

With the explosion, the No. car lay down, and the entire turret was taken down.

"Fuck! The opponent's tank is actually fine!"

"We may have encountered a main battle tank, not good."

Sha Changhe drove the vehicle, preparing to retreat a certain distance and go around in circles with the opponent's tank.

However, the opponent's tanks advanced very fast, and soon encountered the alliance troops.

The tentative fight just now is over, now is the time to die.

The alliance troops have gone deep into the battlefield, and they can't retreat even if they want to retreat. They are all within range of each other.

At this fatal time, an accident happened.

The radar screen was suddenly interrupted, and the sound of electric current came from the walkie-talkie.

"Hey, hey! What's going on?"

"Car No. ! Car No. ! You guys are running too fast!"

"No. 13, NO.16, NO., has your specific location changed?"

"Where is No. 21? Why didn't you follow me?"

"Damn it, what's the matter with this signal?"

Sha Changhe called in vain, and even slapped the walkie-talkie and radar screen with his hands, but there was no response at all.

Without the radar, it would be difficult to fight in this wild grass.

But the Light Chasing Army didn't seem to be affected at all, and they continued to fire one after another!
Boom boom boom~~~!

The successive explosions continued to sound, and many tanks of the alliance were destroyed for a while.

The alliance tanks wanted to fight back, but they couldn't find the enemy's specific position at all. The failure of the radar made them blind and deaf.

They could only observe with the naked eye, roughly find the position of the Light Chasing Army, and then fire back.

However, the hit rate in this situation can be imagined. After every blind firing, they will be severely hit by the Light Chasing Army, blasting tanks into scrap iron.

Tanks were constantly being destroyed around him, even though Sha Changhe yelled into the walkie-talkie, he remained indifferent.

At this moment, Sha Changhe realized that he was going to die.

The radio radar is not malfunctioning, but has been jammed.

If this continues, it won't be long before the alliance will be wiped out.

If Sha Changhe was alone, he might choose to turn around and run away, but not now, all the tanks could not be contacted, he ran away, and the other tanks had no hope of surviving.

He struggled hard, tried many times to no avail, and missed a short time to escape.

boom!
A shot came from nowhere and hit the hull of his tank.

A violent explosion rang in my ears, and the car body shook violently.

My brain was buzzing as if it had been hit with a heavy hammer, and I couldn't see clearly.

His body was injured in many places, and he felt that he was going to die.

But Sha Changhe was still not reconciled. The team he led to face the enemy head-on was finished, but the alliance still had outflanking tanks that were about to arrive.

He looked around and saw that the two companions in the car were dead, the smoke was billowing inside the car, and the temperature was already scalding.

"I have a second plan. I must send a signal."

Sha Changhe persisted and climbed out of the car, and took out a flare gun.

The signal flare had been installed a long time ago, and it was prepared by him for the second plan.

I thought it wouldn't work, but I didn't expect it to work.

That is to use white phosphorus bombs!

This is an area of ​​barren grass. If the white phosphorus bomb is burned, it will immediately become a sea of ​​flames.

In the sea of ​​flames, both radar and thermal imaging will fail, and when the time comes, their own side and the Light Chasing Army's side will return to the same starting line.

Enduring the loss of his life, Sha Changhe pulled the trigger and fired the signal flare.

This was his last effort, and then he lay half of his body outside the car, feeling the increasingly hot temperature around him.

The autumn grass was withered and yellow, and soon, the duel positions of the two sides were ablaze.

The Alliance outflanking tanks were in place, they saw the flares, and they also fired white phosphorous rounds.

The grass is burning rapidly, and this burning will not last long, and it will not even pose any threat to the moving tanks.

But this gave the alliance a precious time. Sha Changhe believed that their troops still had the power to fight, and this was the last thing he could do for the armored force he built by himself.
