Faced with the tank and combat vehicles rushing out of the smoke screen, the defending officers and soldiers on the defensive line were dumbfounded.

In front of the steel monsters, anyone looks extremely small.

Although it was still about a hundred meters away, it felt like the tanks and combat vehicles had rushed in front of them, about to run over the position, crushing everything that stood in front of them.

With the shock came panic.

Several junior officers were the first to come to their senses and began to fire at the tanks.

Immediately after, the sound of gunfire erupted.

The problem is that almost all the officers and men of the defenders are firing at tank fighting vehicles!

"Aim at the infantry and fire at the infantry!"

After Churkin shouted, his entourage repeated his words in Arabic, after all, few of the defenders knew English, let alone Russian.

The scene was chaotic and some officers and soldiers began to fire at the infantry behind the tanks, although many more were still firing at the tanks.

The point is that the first line of defense was mainly government officers and soldiers, with only Churkin and five machine gunners.

In fact, even the government did not have too many officers and soldiers, only two platoons, with a total of less than 60 officers and soldiers, barely able to hold a few important places.

How can you fight this kind of unstructured battle?

Churkin did not hold the big and gave the order to retreat.

Their task is to hold the bridgehead, not to fight the enemy in the first line of defense, and there is no need to expend too many troops on the first line of defense.

It was at this time that two RA-12ERs were smashed down in a volley.

The bad luck was not the tank, it was two M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles.

In positional warfare, infantry fighting vehicles pose a greater threat, especially the 25-mm cannon, which can tear exposed officers and soldiers to shreds.

As for the tanks, after attacking the position, the powerful tank guns became ornaments.

The sudden attack had a clear deterrent effect.

Immediately after two M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles were blown up by missiles, the other tank fighting vehicles immediately released smoke screens and began to turn to evade.

Smoke bombs were used not only by the attacking rebels, but also by the defenders on their positions.

Immediately after several operatives took the lead, the defending officers and soldiers threw the smoke screens that had been prepared for a long time, and it didn't take long for the smoke screen to cover the position.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Churkin withdrew with the officers and men of the first line of defense.

The rebels didn't stop there.

While the officers and men of the first line of defense were retreating, the rebels began shelling positions behind the line, focusing on missile firing positions.

Although there are only two launchers, the RA-12ER poses a lethal threat.

As long as there are still missiles, the rebel tank fighting vehicles that attack the position will be destroyed one by one, and without the cover of tank fighting vehicles, the infantry will soon be crushed.

Of course, the rebel attacking forces did not stop there.

As soon as the shelling began, the rebels stormed their positions, and hundreds of infantrymen, under the cover of tank fighting vehicles, occupied the first line of defense.

The rebels were greeted not by a hail of bullets, but by violent explosions.

In the blink of an eye, the flames and smoke engulfed everything.

The explosion happened very suddenly, without warning.

Quite simply, not incoming shells, but remote-controlled bombs that were planted in advance on the position.

Don't forget, in addition to Churkin, there was also Redon guarding the bridgehead.

Because they had long thought that they would lose a few lines of defense, and in the end they would even abandon the bridgehead position, so Lei Dong and other demomen planted a large number of remote-controlled bombs on the position in advance.

Most of these bombs were buried in the trenches, and they were on the anticline of the trenches.

The first thing the rebel infantry had to do after taking their positions was to enter the trench and then advance along it, all focusing on the second line of defense to the south.

Apparently, none of the rebel officers and soldiers noticed the anomaly inside the trenches.

As a result, the rebel infantry who attacked the position were killed and wounded.

Before the smoke had cleared, the defenders launched a counterattack.

It was not the officers and soldiers of the defenders who rushed to the front, but dozens of operatives led by Churkin.

Without infantry cover, the rebels' tanks and fighting vehicles were left to the slaughter.

Close anti-tank, there is no need to waste expensive anti-tank missiles at all, a single bazooka is enough, and the defenders have bazookas.

You must know that even the M1A1, a main battle tank with a combat weight of nearly 60 tons, has extremely weak side and rear armor.

Bazookas, such as the RPG-7, can penetrate the side and rear armor, if not the frontal armor of the tank.

In less than five minutes, all the tanks and tanks that had attacked the position were destroyed, none of them escaped, and the rebels were basically killed, and the rest did not try to escape.

The defenders also suffered some losses, but the relative results were completely suspicious and negligible.

At this point, the battle lasted only about half an hour.

Defending their positions, they also annihilated hundreds of rebels and destroyed more than a dozen tanks and combat vehicles, and the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and it can be said that their confidence was bursting.

Some government officers and soldiers could not contain their joy and began to shoot into the sky.

Churkin was also excited, but did not let his guard down.

Like him, the rest of the operatives remained in combat condition.

On the battlefield, the enemy is just outside the position, the battle is not over, what is there to celebrate?

Moreover, the rebels have been defeated and will certainly not rest on their laurels.

If this had been a large-scale offensive, the forces invested would not have been an infantry company, i.e. the rebels would have mustered more forces.

It's just that the battlefield is shrouded in smoke and the deployment of the enemy is not visible.

You know, in addition to the smoke screens released by both sides, there is also black smoke from the burning of the wreckage of tank combat vehicles, and the visibility on the position is less than twenty meters!

"Ceasefire, immediate ceasefire!"

Hearing Churkin's orders, the accompanying officers immediately gave orders.

After several battles, in the eyes of government officers and soldiers, Churkin and these operatives are invincible myths, like the existence of the god of war.

A little off!

Churkin stood up and whistled at several nearby operatives.

Needless to say, the operatives immediately understood, and raised the DF8SMG in their hands, but with the muzzle of the gun pointing upward.

They are not machine gunners, they are assault fighters, they use DF8SMGs in rifle configurations, and they all have gun-mounted grenade launchers.

Ready, several operatives fired grenades at the same time.

The aiming point is not too far, just over 100 meters away.

Soon, the grenade fell.

The sound of the explosion was very clear, only the flash of the explosion was not very noticeable.

Immediately after that, there was a burst of gunfire, and there was the sound of cannons, and it was the sound of machine guns!

The operatives reacted quickly and were experienced, and took refuge in the trenches before the gunfire rang out, otherwise there would have been casualties.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Churkin dared to hesitate and immediately gave the order to retreat.

The rebels really did not give up, the second wave of attacking troops has advanced to the front of the position, and there are tanks and fighting vehicles, at least twice as many troops as in the last attack!
