Chapter 833: Urban Offensive and Defensive Battles
The crisp sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the wooden floor came from the hall to the dining room, and the slightly hurried pace made Li Lan couldn't help but look back, only to see Natasha walking quickly in front of him, and whispered in Li Lan's ear: "Just now, the intelligence sent news that the Kenyan Army has received a large number of American-style active equipment, at least two battalions of single M1A2 main battle tanks, and a large number of M1 tanks. Moreover, Kenya's southern border guards have also received a large amount of secret equipment, and it is not clear what kind of weapons it is, but the amount is very huge. In addition, according to intelligence reports, a large number of NATO veterans have also secretly entered Kenya. ”
"I see, let Jascho keep an eye on it." Li Lan's face did not change and instructed.
Natasha hurried away again, Tanya on the side frowned slightly, and said, "NATO has let go of its concerns. ”
"Yes, the bottom line of the two sides has appeared, if they don't officially send troops, they will tell us not to burn the flames of war on NATO countries, otherwise we will definitely fight with all our might." Li Lan said.
"It's good enough to think about it, you want us to get into the war in Kenya, and you want to stay out of it, how can there be such a good thing." Tanya said.
"At the beginning of the Vietnam War, NATO was a little timid, but today it has changed like this, I'm afraid they are really afraid of us." Speaking of this, Li Lan smiled slightly and said: "However, this is exactly what I need, if NATO keeps being in the dragon market, we are helpless, what we want is for them to move." ”
"I'm a little worried, what if it really triggers a full-scale war? Relying on our current conventional military strength, we are no match for such a large military bloc as NATO. Tanya was a little worried in her heart.
NATO's arsenal of conventional weapons, if all on display. That's enough to plow the continent back and forth a dozen times, and light up all the arms stockpiles left over from the Cold War. It's enough to ruin half the world.
Somalia has the military strength at present, but it has no long-term war potential. The amount of conventional weapons held by NATO is also a drop in the bucket.
If a war breaks out, there is no chance of victory at all, unless there are allies.
"A real war will not break out, but a small-scale military conflict is estimated to be unavoidable, and the two sides must always have a tentative contact." Li Lan said.
In fact, Li Lan was not very sure in his heart, he did not dare to guarantee that NATO would not make a desperate bet, after all, there are no absolutes in the world. If you have to say why he dared to do this, as in the report just now, he is taking a big gamble.
When capital and strength are weak, gambling is the choice of many people, and Li Lan is no exception.
……
At the same time, the breakfast of the front-line troops was held in the line of fire, and the troops in charge of the attack ate it before dawn, and the follow-up troops were biting on jerky and compressed biscuits while marching. If you're thirsty, take a few sips of the water bag in your rucksack.
As for the artillery, there was no time to eat, and as soon as the artillery group was in place, the shelling of three cities began. The Air Force did not fall and began to sabotage traffic in the rear of the three cities.
The huge Il-76 transport aircraft fleet and the Kunpeng transport aircraft jointly developed with China carried the troops of the airborne brigade of the Southern Military Region. Airborne in turn in the rear of three cities, the strength of nine battalions of mechanized infantry brigades. Split into three parts, bypassing the three cities, intercepting to the rear of the city.
Reconnaissance units and special operations forces. Special infiltration and sabotage began in three cities.
After half an hour of non-stop shelling, the urban offensive began as soon as the attacking forces were ready.
As soon as the contact battle began, the battle entered a white heat, and the tank units that had just entered the outskirts of the city were hit by heavy artillery fire, and the automatic artillery, mortars, and howitzers hidden in civilian houses were the main forces of the counterattack.
The tank brigade of the 2nd Heavy Division did not flinch because of this, and the reinforced Apocalypse tanks advanced directly under artillery fire, and when they officially entered the street area, there were still two tanks in the tank group that withdrew from the battle, and the fate of these two tanks was the same, they were hit by a 155-mm howitzer on the barrel of the tank, and the barrel of the guide was bent, so they could only withdraw from the battle.
As for the other heavy firepower, it was not helpless to get the fast-moving tanks, and at the same time, the artillery fire in the rear came quickly, and under the calibration of the drones, these hidden firepower points in Kenya were destroyed one by one.
The counterattack fire was quickly suppressed, and the Rhino Tanks in the rear began to sortie, although they set off later than the Apocalypse Tank, but their high speed quickly closed the distance, and they were almost close behind as the Apocalypse Tank crushed the concrete floor of the city into the city.
The core of the Meru defense line, under the reinforced concrete pavement, Lines listened to the report of the front-line troops with a stern face, at this time Meru has been infiltrated by a large number of special forces, and the understanding of the front-line battle situation, the command here is also intermittent.
Fortunately, the general battle situation can still be controlled, in fact, with the extension of the artillery fire of the Red Police Corps, Raines knew that the tanks had entered the city.
"Order the 3rd, 7th, and 9th Tank Battalions to meet the enemy as planned, and the Army Aviation Regiment will randomly support them, and notify all the participating units not to save me ammunition."
As the order was delivered, the city of Meru began to come alive, and many of the tanks hidden in the alleys began to rumble and roar, and the tracks turned and drove out of the dark corners, carrying yellow-green camouflage nets, towards the north of the city.
The first Apocalypse tank walking on the main road of Meru City quickly discovered the enemy's situation, a tank hidden in the fork, a tail stabilized dìng depleted uranium shell armor-piercing shell made in Ukraine, and directly ordered the left turret of the Apocalypse tank.
The powerful impact and explosion directly shifted the Apocalypse Tank by several centimeters, and the large piece of reactive armor on it had no effect, and the tail wing stabilized dìng depleted uranium shell-piercing shells with 700 mm armor-piercing power made a hole in the side turret of the Apocalypse Tank as deep as five or six centimeters.
In this tank numbered 521, all the members tried to suppress the discomfort in their hearts, and the commander directly shouted: "Observe hands, Nima is not sleeping, I didn't see a tank there." ”
"I can't be blamed for not finding the thermal reaction, I'm not a clairvoyant."
The view was blocked by the house, and the other party hid in the alley, and specially carried out infrared camouflage, which was originally for a sneak attack, and the observer could only explain helplessly.
The commander looked at the bulge that appeared inside the turret, and his heart was nameless, this tank was his treasure, if it was replaced by a rhinoceros tank, it would have already been penetrated, which made him even more angry, and shouted to the gunner: "At three o'clock, depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, ready for shelling." ”
The commander shouted and adjusted the turret, and when the smoke cleared, he aimed directly at the T-84 main battle tank, which had started its engine and was about to exit the alley, and shouted: "Fire." ”
"Bang!" Powerful smoke and fire flashed at the mouth of the gun barrel, and the body of the tank, which weighed seventy tons, shook a little, and the dust on the ground was also shaken by the huge recoil of the tank, and the tracks pressed the ground into deep cracks.
In the T-84 main battle tank, which saw that the sneak attack did not achieve the expected effect, the commander saw that his carefully planned shot only knocked out a few pieces of the opponent's explosive reactive armor and left a hole, and he had no time to be shocked, so he instinctively ordered the driver to start the tank engine immediately and quickly retreat from the other side of the alley.
Originally, according to the commander's idea, such a powerful shot, even if the hit tank was not destroyed, would lose its combat effectiveness, which made him very disappointed, and then a huge crisis.
The alley is perfect for ambushes, but it is a Jedi for tanks, because there is no way for tanks to avoid it, they can only move in a straight line back and forth, and if they are attacked, they can only rely on the defense of the tank itself.
But the huge king of the land in front of him, who is not afraid of even the famous M1A2SEP, how can the T-84's 700 mm defense power be able to resist.
Seeing that the muzzle of the gun had been turned around, the commander of the T-84 would need three or four seconds to attack again, and it was too late to attack again, so he could only keep urging the driver: "Hurry up." ”
There was no need for the commander's urging at all, and the driver also saw that the deep barrel was already facing his tank, and the accelerator had already been stepped on the end, and he kept muttering: "Move, baby......"
This qiē was all over as the cannon was ejected, and the armor-piercing shell penetrated directly through the junction of the turret and the tank body, and the tank crew inside, the last consciousness directly dissipated, and the T-84 tank was directly destroyed in the explosion.
"Keep going." Inside the 521 Apocalypse Tank, the commander looked at the enemy tank that was too dead to die, and directly ordered to continue advancing.
This brief encounter was only a small beginning in the whole battlefield, and the city of Meru was not a very large urban area, and a tank encounter of no small scale soon broke out.
Kenya's T-84 main battle tanks, which Kenya once imported from Ukraine, were put into the defense of the three cities, combining helicopter gunships and infantry to fight in the three cities.
Countless wonderful battle scenes were staged.
Although the Kenyan army's will to resist is very tenacious, but in the face of equipment inferiority, it can only be defeated and retreated, in this land, the Apocalypse tank is almost invincible, Kenya's most powerful anti-tank weapon, can not destroy the defense of the Apocalypse, on the other hand, those T-84, under the attack of the Apocalypse tank, can only be helpless to hate.
The few armed helicopters are also difficult to exert their effects, and even before the helicopter arrives at the delivery site, it is destroyed by the air force or ground air defense weapons of the Red Guard Corps.
It is the people of the cities who are really suffering, and the Kenyan army uses houses as positions, and if they are positions, they will be destroyed and innocent people will inevitably be injured. (To be continued......)
