Chapter 419: Anti-Armor Submunitions

"Five minutes before the first attack?"

Captain Brooklyn, commander of the D armored battle group of the 2nd Armored Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army, stood on his command tank, holding a headset in one hand and a walk-in in ......the other. What you say is true? The Air Force has been re-equipped with anti-tank weapons? ”

"That's right!"

Before Captain Brooklyn finished speaking, the rough voice of Major Cabreno, commander of the Second Armored Battalion, came from the earphones: "Major Wharton personally reported to General Van Fleet, commander of the Eighth Army, otherwise it would not be so fast, now what you have to do is to block the Chinese for me, and after a few rounds of air raids, we can attack back and forth and completely eat this annoying Chinese army!" ”

"Understood, but ......"

Captain Brooklyn nodded in agreement, a pair of golden eyebrows couldn't help but wring deeply, although he didn't want to say more, but looking at the crumbling defense line, he still said what was in his heart: "I hope the Air Force will not use a cannon equipped with armored shells to come and strafe it perfunctorily, which is useless to the Chinese armored forces that are attacking me!" ”

"Don't worry, this time the Air Force is using a more efficient anti-armor submunition, how powerful is it, you should have seen it at the Aberdeen test site, Captain!"

As soon as he heard that it was an anti-armor submunition, Captain Brooklyn's whole person felt as if he had eaten a king-sized resurrection pill, and he suddenly became energetic, as Major Cabreno said, Captain Brooklyn was too familiar with the lethal effect of armor-piercing submunitions.

It was a new type of bomb with a 1,000-pound heavy bomb shell loaded with dozens of small shaped charge bombs, and dropped from the sky, like sowing countless seeds of death, tilting countless submunitions onto the heads of local armoured clusters.

You must know that the weakest part of the tank's perimeter protection is the top layer of armor, which is usually no more than a dozen millimeters thick armor steel plates, and this kind of armor-piercing submunition hits the top layer of armor of the tank.

In this way, only three or four attack planes can destroy a full regiment of armored forces, and before leaving for North Korea, Captain Brooklyn was testing this air-dropped anti-tank ammunition at the Aberdeen weapons test site in the United States.

Because of this, when he heard Colonel Cabreno take out this new air-dropped anti-tank ammunition, he swept away the previous decline and said with confidence: "Five minutes, no problem, even if the Chinese are fierce, their good days will come to an end!" ”

After speaking, he ended the call with Major Cabreno, and immediately picked up the binoculars to look at the fierce battle not far away, and at this time, the angry roar of Major Williams of the British Seventh Brigade suddenly came from his headphones: "Why is there no air support yet?" If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on for long! ”

Hearing this, Captain Brooklyn's originally calm face suddenly became cold, if Williams hadn't retreated without authorization, how could he have been caught off guard and almost broken up by the high-speed impact of the Chinese armored mechanized cluster.

If it weren't for the fact that Captain Brooklyn pressed the M46 tank at the bottom of the box at the critical moment to stabilize his position, it is estimated that the D armored battle group under his command would follow in the footsteps of the A armored battle group and become a feast for the Chinese armored forces.

How could it be that this pig teammate ran around and ran to the defense area of his D armored battle group, and even if he was strictly ordered by Lieutenant Colonel Wharton to defend on the spot, otherwise he would directly send Major Williams and other British officers to court-martial.

In desperation, Major Williams could only lead the LinkedIn army to build a defensive line, but before they could finish building, Chinese tanks rushed over like them.

The British officers and men, who had no fighting spirit, only made a symbolic resistance, and began to rout on all fronts, so that the right flank of the D armored battle group was instantly exposed to the front of the Chinese armored forces.

If it weren't for Captain Brooklyn, who has rich experience in armored combat, personally led the latest M46 tank to carry out two effective armored counter-assaults, it is estimated that his troops would not be able to stop the footsteps of the Chinese army, not to mention, they might still be surrounded by someone quickly, and then become the ghost of the Chinese tank tracks!

Because of this, Captain Brooklyn hated those British guys who looked dignified on the outside, but they were male thieves and prostitutes, so when he heard Major Williams's bad voice in the headphones, his mood improved because of the anti-armor submunitions, and finally he couldn't help but shout at the intercom: "Five minutes, can't you even hold on to five minutes?" ”

"What about after five minutes? Watching the tracks of Chinese tanks run over us? ”

Major Williams on the other end of the radio also showed no weakness, but he made up his mind that if Captain Brooklyn did not give him a satisfactory answer, he would not mind leaving his allies and leading the LinkedIn army to continue to retreat, after all, the British 7th Brigade had sacrificed enough for their American allies, and if it continued to fight, this British army with glorious traditions would have to be wiped out.

However, just as Major Williams was about to tell the prepared statement in advance so that he could quickly get out and leave, there was a sudden "buzzing" roar in his ears, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to the sky and subconsciously shouted: "It's the Air Force!" ”

"That's right, my dear Mr. Major, it is the powerful US Air Force, this time they carried a very powerful new bomb, just drop it, no matter how powerful the Chinese tank is, it will turn into a pile of scrap metal, so, I congratulate you in advance, Major Williams, your opportunity to take revenge on the Chinese has arrived!"

Captain Brooklyn on the other end of the radio spoke with a hint of sarcasm, but Major Williams was unaware, or rather, he was so stunned by what he saw before him that he didn't even listen to the words in his headphones.

No way, this scene is really shocking, I saw two B-26 bombers, slowly flying from the sky, and when they arrived in the sky above the Chinese armored forces, they suddenly dropped a series of bombs, and those bombs suddenly disintegrated on the way down, turning into countless tiny submunitions, and then I saw that the open space where the Chinese armored forces were stationed, rumbling up a large sea of fire and gunsmoke......
