Chapter 429: Eye of the Storm

This battle is actually not so spectacular, not like in the movie, the guns are fired, and there are not thousands of people shouting and charging with guns.

However, the charge of dozens or hundreds of people, the battle between several tanks and pickup trucks, but the battle was a tragic situation.

It's too rare to see a battle like this, which is obviously only the size of a small team, but insists on fighting until there is not a single one left and refuses to evacuate.

Obviously, it was only a battalion and company-level attack, and it was only a tentative attack, but there was not a single one left that insisted on fighting, and this kind of battle was not only rare, but should not happen.

The pickup began to move rapidly, and the completely unarmored pickup truck could only rely on mobility and powerful attack power to maneuver the enemy tanks.

The Challenger-2 and Leclerc have advanced fire control systems and the ability to fire on the move, and these two tanks are absolutely capable of hitting a moving pickup.

If you want to move, of course, you can't just go around in circles in a small area, and the anti-tank missiles on the pickup truck, as long as they haven't run out, can distract the enemy, and force the enemy to have to focus on himself.

The pickup quickly disappeared from the high field of vision, and the two armored vehicles also began to maneuver quickly, driving to both sides respectively, if they were numerically inferior, then they could not seek to maintain any formation, this was not a large-scale tank assault, this was a guerrilla war waged by armored vehicles against tank units.

Gao Yuan is really puzzled now.

"I don't understand, can anyone explain it to me? Our friendly forces have to go up and keep the enemy from coming close, because they have to create space for us to live, but why should the enemy fight like this? Why should they do this? ”

Gao Yuan finished speaking, and after he finished speaking, the only one who could answer him was Klaus.

"Because...... We may be in the eye of the storm, the enemy is preparing for a big offensive operation, the cleaners are going to attack, the solar system is of course going to defend, this is the front line where both sides are gathering heavy troops, and when a big war is about to break out, we broke into the middle of the two sides, so this is what it is now. ”

Klaus sighed, and then he continued to whisper: "This is a large-scale battle, the cleaners can't allow an unknown number of enemy troops with unknown sources and unknown purposes on their sides, that is, us, now that the cleaners have discovered us, then we must be wiped out, at least to find out our numbers and equipment, and after deducing our purpose, we will be defeated and driven out of this area, this is something that will inevitably happen before a big war, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance on both sides, temptation and counter-temptation, It has been repeatedly staged on fronts of tens of kilometers or even more than 100 kilometers. ”

Gao Yuan understood, and he said in a low voice: "You mean, they are going to have a decisive battle in this area?" ”

"Yes, at least it is an important battle that determines the direction of victory or defeat, the solar system can't put the cleaners on their own territory to fight this battle, and the cleaners are on the offensive, from the information we have obtained, the cleaners' strategy last time was a raid, but their raid offensive was destroyed by the repeated attacks of the solar system company, and this time, the cleaners chose the tactics of step-by-step and heavy advancement, which is very slow, there is no suddenness at all, but the solar system company cannot disrupt the cleaners' offensive by raiding, They were forced to face it head-on. ”

At this moment, there was another explosion, which Gao Yuan could tell that it was the sound of a missile exploding, not the sound of a tank gun firing.

There were two explosions, then four tank guns fired, and then another explosion.

Klaus exhaled, he looked at his watch and said: "It's been nine minutes, the battle is still going on, the BTR-90 armored car has not yet been put into battle, we still have time." ”

Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "So, where is the big force of the Solar System Company?" ”

"Of course, in the main direction of attack of the cleaners, this is a battle that takes place on the grassland, and it is a duel between tanks and armored vehicles, the solar system company has to rely on infantry anti-tank, and a small number of tanks are used as mobile forces as auxiliaries, they must determine the main direction of attack of the cleaners, otherwise how can the solar system company block the attack of the cleaners."

This is a tactical problem at the campaign level, and of course Gao Yuan cannot have the knowledge and vision at the campaign level, he is only a squad leader, not a brigade commander or division commander.

After finishing speaking, Klaus sighed lightly and said: "Let's hold on for half an hour, that means that the armored troops of the Solar System Company can arrive in about half an hour, well, since it is the armored reconnaissance company of the Uranus troops, it is the Uranus troops deployed in this area." ”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said, "How do you judge?" ”

"Isn't that easy? Who does the armored reconnaissance company serve? In the service of tank armored units, of course, do you think that an armored reconnaissance company will be assigned to an infantry regiment? Also, as far as I know, the Uranus Force is one of the few companies in the Solar System that has a formed tank armored unit...... One...... Branch. ”

Klaus didn't know how to define the forces of the Solar System Corporation, and in the end he defined the Uranus forces as branches, which seemed completely correct to some extent.

He Yingjie is talking about the rapid reaction force, so that's right, the Uranus force will be able to arrive soon.

Speaking of this, Klaus suddenly said, "You know what? ”

"What?"

"Because of the advent of helicopters, and because of the increasingly efficient means of aircraft striking ground targets, the decisive battle of tank clusters is no longer possible, countries have drastically reduced the number of tanks, and tanks are unlikely to be used intensively as they were in World War II, and the Kursk-style tank Armageddon would have been impossible again, but, because aliens destroyed all our air power, then, the best way to use tanks, returned to the way of World War II."

After Klaus finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said: "The last time the two sides used tanks to duel were the German Kingdom and the Soviet Union, and this time, it was a secret organization and a mercenary company. ”

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly: "I only care about how many tanks the solar system company has, and if there is a tank showdown, can it stop the steel torrent of the cleaners." ”

Klaus turned to Renato and said loudly, "Hi Renato, how many tanks does Uranus have?" ”

Renato looked at Klaus, and then he said loudly: "Two tank regiments, one regiment of 90 vehicles, one self-propelled howitzer regiment, two towed artillery regiments, one 122-mm rocket artillery regiment, one armored regiment, one motorized infantry battalion, one special brigade, two infantry regiments, one ...... The engineer battalion, a communications battalion, oh, most of them are from Shenzhou, if you ask me why the Uranus troops are so strong now, it's because of the support of Shenzhou, a year ago, Shenzhou basically handed over all of Africa's manpower to Uranus, if you want to ask Shenzhou why he did this, then you have to ask the ram or the one next to you. ”
