Chapter 828: The First Sunrise

In the early hours of 22 July, the 1st Armored Brigade of the Moro State and the 4th Armored Brigade of the Philippines met on the outskirts of Tacloban City, and a fierce exchange of fire ensued. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A total of 70 tanks, 120 infantry fighting vehicles, 10 self-propelled artillery pieces, and 30 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were put into operation. The tank units include 20 M1A1 main battle tanks, as well as a variety of American armor. In addition to this, there is a reinforced support battalion to provide battlefield support.

On the Moro side, 60 tanks, 150 infantry vehicles, 20 self-propelled guns were invested. Among them, the main battle tanks are mainly T-80, and most of the tanks are relatively backward T-72.

However, although it lacks armor strength, the addition of the Star Ring Trade Armored Force has obviously reversed this situation.

The Tiger II with A-shaped steel armor at the front, equipped with a Type 50 electromagnetic cannon, is simply a tank destroyer on the battlefield. Although the tank independently developed by the post-apocalyptic researchers lacks experience in armored combat, the leading technology still fills the gap in actual combat experience.

The armor-piercing shells of the M1A1 can only cause damage to the side armor and turret of the Tiger II, while the armor of the M1A1 is in front of the Type 50 electromagnetic cannon, as long as the angle of the bomb is not too tricky, it is basically a rhythm of one shot.

At the same time, before the two sides came into close contact, the artillery unit of Transwarp Trade took the lead in using the Fireball-1, projecting hundreds of EMP rockets on the battlefield.

However, the interesting thing is that although the anti-drone equipment is not useful, the anti-EMP weapons purchased by the Philippines from the United States have unexpectedly worked.

When the rockets on the side of the Star Ring Trade were lifted into the air, gray-white smoke immediately erupted from the Philippine armored units.

This smoke is composed of droplets with a special content and diameter, forming a simple "Faraday cage" within the white fog envelope, which acts as a defense against the EMP of the electronic devices enclosed in it.

However, the disadvantages of this primitive anti-EMP method are also very obvious. After being attached to the droplets, the communication equipment of tanks and armored vehicles will fail for a period of time due to physical electromagnetic shielding.

But it has to be said that it is still very effective in terms of saving lives.

At least this time, the Philippine army did not suffer the same as last time, after receiving a round of EMP salvo from Star Ring Trade, the organization of the entire division was lost. After coming into contact with the armored forces of the Moro Kingdom and the Star Ring Trade, he at least has a certain ability to fight back.

But it's just the ability to fight back.

On the road from the beach to the city of Tacloban, there are ruins of tanks on fire at the top. Some belong to the M1A1, and some belong to the T-80 or T-72, and in this tank battle, a total of hundreds of tanks were reimbursed. More than half of them belong to the Philippines, and a small number belong to the Moro country.

As for the Transwarp Trade, the only battle damage was that one Tiger Hunter II was hit by the support gun and exploded at the top, and the rest of the tanks were at most broken tracks or turrets, and were not directly destroyed by the M1A1 at all.

After taking out the 1st Armored Brigade of the Philippines, the 5th Mechanized Division of the Moro Nation that landed on the island began to advance at full speed towards the city of Tacloban. Sea Lion Special Forces flew to the north in Black Hawk helicopters to blow up the road and stop the retreat of the Filipino defenders on Leyte Island.

Star Ring Trade threw a brigade of troops into Leyte Island, grouped up with the troops involved in the landing operation, and quickly broke through to the edge of the city in infantry vehicles, and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Philippine Army entrenched here!

……

The vast majority of civilians in the city have been evacuated, and only a small number of people have not had time to evacuate. The city of Tacloban after the EMP strike was like a dead city. Rows of tall buildings looked down like tombstones, silently looking down on the soldiers who had broken into the city, and the humble sparks left behind by the explosives.

After the defensive line on the outskirts of the city was broken, the Filipino soldiers had begun to evacuate into the city, preparing for street battles with the Star Ring Trade.

Walking beside the armored car of the Moro Country, Zhang Feng held the Ripper rifle and carefully looked at the windows around him.

Eight Hummingbird drones hovered around the armored vehicle, alerting for bazookas that could come out of the window, or explosives dropped from the rooftop.

Suddenly, a rocket trailed the armored vehicle with a tail flame, blowing up the reactive armor hanging on the left side of the armored vehicle.

"Enemy anti-tank squad spotted on the rooftop!"

"Four o'clock, knock them out!"

The fireman pounced behind the bunker and set up his light machine gun to unleash his fire on the window on the roof. Seeing that the blow failed, the opponent immediately retreated.

"The target is moving!"

"I want to run if I'm pretending to be forced!Damn, catch up with me!" Zhang Feng scolded as he issued a combat order through the holographic screen and assigned two team members to go upstairs to clear out the anti-tank squad.

And at this moment, bullets suddenly came from the opposite street.

The Filipino soldiers crouching behind the shopping street set up their machine guns and rifles in their hands and vented their fire at Zhang Feng's team. Caught off guard, the rifleman standing in the front row received two shots in the chest. But fortunately, there was polyethylene armor in the way, which saved his life.

"Hide! Hide behind cover!

Two shots were fired at the opposite street, and Zhang Feng leaned against the back of the concrete wall and marked the enemy target through the drone.

"This is the 121st Squad, the southern part of Tacloban City has spotted enemy troops, estimated to be forty people, and has requested air attack support. ”

"Shooter-3 received, air raid begins in 2 minutes, please mark enemy units. ”

"The target has been marked!"

“…… Roger that. "An Aurora-20 hovering in the air changed course and flew towards the target area.

The armored car in the middle of the street was reversing on one side, and the machine-gun turret on top was spewing tongues of fire into the opposite shopping street.

The glass of the store shattered to the ground, and the 20mm large-caliber ammunition easily tore the cement block from the steel skeleton, nailing the Philippine infantry squad to the ground.

After ending the communication, Zhang Feng glanced at the countdown to the air raid on the holographic screen on his arm, then leaned out of the bunker with a rifle, turned on the thermal imaging function on the scope, and used point fire to cooperate with the suppression of the armored vehicle to clean up the Filipino soldiers hiding behind the bunker.

The countdown to the air raid is zero!

In an instant, the commercial street where the Filipino soldiers were hiding was crushed to the ground like a storm passing through the sky. The dust spread out in all directions, blowing two blocks away. When he saw the figure of the Aurora-20 whizzing by, Zhang Feng heard the roar of the machine gun.

“clear!”

Zhang Feng roared, held his rifle, and walked out of the bunker.

"Shet, splashed my face with ashes. ”

"You should be glad that it wasn't anything else that shot you in the face. ”

"Hey man, don't say such unlucky things!"

The rifleman, who was crawling behind the concrete pier, stood up with his rifle and wiped his face and cursed.

Zhang Feng grinned, gave his comrade-in-arms a hand, and then knocked on the armored car.

"Keep going. ”

Supported by air strikes, all resistance is a paper tiger. When the city center is taken, the Filipino soldiers who remain in the city will be completely divided by the armored forces of the Moro country. Either they lose their weapons and uniforms and become civilians, or they are shot down or captured!

But at this moment, a light lit up in the distance.

Zhang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the flashing light.

Also attracted by the light, the rifleman next to him muttered.

"Shet, what's that......"

The night sky is lit up as if the sun is rising. (To be continued.) )
