Chapter 216: Blocking Battle, Destroying the Second Infantry Regiment Up
The soldiers of the 2nd Philippine Infantry Regiment drove their horsepower to the maximum along the way, and in ten minutes they came to a distance of five kilometers from Puerto Princesa. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Puerto Princesa is located on a small plain with no hills around it, and there is simply nothing to block the view except for some dense woods.
When the Philippine Second Infantry Regiment approached Puerto Princesa seven or eight kilometers, it had already faintly seen a black line appear in the sky.
If it was normal, it would have been a great time to stop and observe, but since they had received a death order and had to rush to Puerto Princesa within the specified time, everyone was only concerned about hurrying, and no one paid special attention.
As they got closer and closer to the black line, the distant scene slowly appeared in front of the Filipino soldiers.
Five tanks appeared in the distance in a row, slowly growing in size under the frightened eyes of the Filipino soldiers, and there were some armored vehicles behind them, some of the armored vehicles they had seen, or rather their regiment's armored vehicles, and some strange vehicles that had never been seen before, and so on.
Some of these armored vehicles were trophies of the militants in Puerto Princesa, and they were temporarily used as military vehicles during the rapid march, while those vehicles that the Filipino soldiers had not seen were improvised anti-aircraft missile launchers, which had intercepted Philippine military communications in the dark of night, and a bomber squad was on their way.
"Prepare for battle!" The Filipino soldiers did not seem particularly flustered about this kind of encounter, obviously at a certain distance, the deterrent power of tanks was not too great, and the Second Infantry Regiment had ten tanks, and in the perception of the Filipino soldiers, two dozen and one must have been fought.
The distance between the two sides is about a kilometer or so, and they have already entered the range of each other.
"Listen to the people in front, we are the Palawan Free Army, and your regimental commander is now in our hands, and now we order you to lay down your arms, give up resistance, and surrender on the spot!"
Before the words were finished, the Philippine Infantry Regiment had already taken the lead in firing, hastily adjusting its position and distance, and ten light tanks were the first to fire, and the small-caliber guns equipped on the tanks fired several shells with a burst of positional sounds.
The Palawan Free Army couldn't help but be depressed when they looked at the Filipino soldiers who fired directly, Linde (it's Linde, not Lin Qing, the protagonist is now lying at home drinking) caught a guy called Locat, claiming to be the commander of the regiment, asking to be captured, and he thought about it and prepared to use it to persuade the Philippine soldiers to surrender, and this idea was also reported, and the leader's consent was obtained.
He was a little high-spirited with Locat, standing in the middle of the road and preparing to persuade the oncoming Filipino soldiers to surrender, and this Lokat said that he was the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment opposite, and he was definitely a figure in the regiment.
As a result, instead of the Filipino soldiers who immediately laid down their arms and surrendered, they were waiting for ten shells, and they took the Lokat regiment commander back into a thickened armored car in embarrassment, and Linde angrily gave the order to attack.
After receiving the order to attack, the Palawan Free Army, immediately like a tiger out of the gate, the first to open fire was five T-72 tanks, the shell with Linde's anger, flew out of the barrel, crossed a graceful arc in the air, accurately hit a light tank in the distance, thin-skinned light tank, the armor could not resist the T72's 125 mm shells at all, the shells penetrated from the middle position of the tank, and exploded directly inside the light tank.
A huge explosion sounded, and there was a martyrdom inside the light tank, and the tank weighing more than ten tons suddenly flew up from the ground, like a firework, blooming in the air, and finally smashed on the ground fiercely, and the surrounding soldiers were also affected.
Five shells hit one, a 20 percent hit rate, and after seeing their comrades hit by tanks in the distance, angry Filipino soldiers drove their cars and launched a charge at the enemy in the distance, trying to take advantage of the gap in the enemy tank filling to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
The accuracy of the nine shells was much higher this time, one of them hit an armored car, killing the driver of the armored car on the spot, and three more hit the T-72 tank, but unfortunately the caliber was too small to penetrate the frontal armor of the T72.
"Is that a monster?" The tank driver of the Philippine Second Infantry Regiment immediately shouted excitedly after seeing that he had hit the enemy tank, but when he looked at the target once, his excited heart immediately cooled down, and he simply broke through and ricocheted directly, which was completely beyond their cognition.
Philippine infantry training, armored training, there is no imaginary enemy at all, in the battle, the previous rebels did not have main battle tanks, so in the Philippine troops, their light tanks are the existence that can penetrate everything, but seeing with their own eyes the invincible tank actually produced a ricochet, I can't help but surprise these Filipino soldiers, this is completely impossible to happen, they have not encountered anything at the training ground.
However, they quickly adjusted their mentality, it may have been just an accident, the commander looked at the stunned crew members and shouted: "Don't be in a daze, change to armor-piercing bullets!" ”
"Yes!"
The loader hurriedly took an armor-piercing bullet from the ammunition rack and loaded it into the chamber, and then pressed the fire button fiercely at the enemy tank in the distance.
As soon as they opened fire, inside a depression about 500 meters away from them, an armed man armed with an M82A1 pulled the trigger on a light tank.
"Bang!" A sound exploded, and a puff of white smoke rose from the place where the gun was fired, and after the militants opened fire, they immediately fled from their hiding place, without looking at their own results.
As an anti-materiel sniper rifle, the M82A1 can easily penetrate the armor of this light tank with one shot, and the bullet easily breaks through the armor of the light tank with a sharp breaking sound, and then hits a high-explosive shell on the weapon rack, and then the light tank turns into a ball of flames.
Before the explosion, the commander continued to observe the armor-piercing shell that had just been fired through the periscope, and the shell accurately hit the T-72 again (too large and bulky), and clenched his fist excitedly, thinking that this time he would definitely be able to kill him, but the next scene that surprised him happened again, after the shell hit the T72, the expected explosion did not occur, let alone the effect of breaking through the armor.
"It's ricochet again, how is that possible? This is an armor-piercing projectile! This was the last thought of the Philippine light tank commander, and then he felt a scorching heat behind him, a darkness in front of him, a pain all over his body, a burning heat, and then closed his eyes forever.
When the Philippine light tank fired two rounds of shells, the T72 tank finally finished reloading again, and began to shoot, this time their target was not on the light tank in front of them, but lying on the armored personnel carrier behind them, as the distance between the two warring sides continued to approach, the Philippine light tank has approached the range of the RPG, and more than a dozen armed elements holding RPGs have already been eager to try.
