Chapter 167: The First Meeting of the Three Artifacts

In this war, the first large-scale tank battle was like a one-sided slaughter, and the terrifying 122 mm tank guns of the Stalin2 heavy tank spewed out long flames again and again, and the shells pierced the air with a sharp whistling like meteors, easily penetrating the armor of one Sherman tank after another, turning the latter into burning flames.

These are simply two opponents of different classes, heavy tanks against medium tanks, 122 mm guns against 76 mm guns, and those helpless Sherman tanks, who can only rely on slightly faster speed, desperately go around the flank, hoping to avoid the opponent's heavy front armor attack on the relatively weak flanks.

But it's a pity that the battlefield is not the meaning of the blockbuster in the United States, and the mobility of the forty-four-ton Starling 2 is not comparable to the seventy-ton Tiger King, almost the same number of fighting Pakistanis have no hope of victory, they can only watch their tanks, in the impact of armor-piercing shells, one after another are destroyed, the battlefield is full of burning Shermans, and the Starling 2 destroyed by them is very few.

Under the most terrifying tank bombardment of this era, the Pakistanis, who soon suffered heavy losses, left nearly 100 burning wreckage and fled in a hurry.

The steel torrent of the Tianzhu people rushed straight to Lahore.

"Street fighting, you must lead the enemy's armored forces into the city, the bazookas I gave you can easily destroy their tanks, now is the moment of decisive battle, as long as you drag the enemy on the western front, our counteroffensive on the eastern front can go straight in, now the fight is will."

Yang Feng waved his fist at Ayub. Khan said.

Indeed, this is the decisive moment, and Jinnah is well aware of it. Just after the line of defense was breached. The Pakistani army quickly retreated into the city of Lahore. Jinnah even shouted the slogan of turning Lahore into a second Stalingrad. At the same time, in the eastern front of West Bengal, nearly 200,000 Mingba-Afghan coalition troops also launched a full-line counteroffensive against the Tianzhu army attacking Calcutta, in order to support this big war, Yang Feng even transferred all the remaining bombers to the front line, including the newly purchased Meteor brigade, which also flew directly to Karachi to help the Pakistani people defend their sky.

The Meteors were drawn directly from the Air Force by the British government. Sold to the Netherlands, and then resold to Yang Feng, their arrival not only alleviated the danger faced by Jinnah, but also had an extremely important significance, as the military aid route from the Soviet Union flying over Pakistani airspace and directly into Tianzhu was completely cut off, because there were twenty-four night fighters in this batch of aircraft, and the meteors equipped with radar.

This route was cut off, which meant the loss of Nehru's air force. It is no longer possible to resurrect with full blood in an instant, because of the fighter he lost before. They all flew directly from the Soviet Union to Tianzhu, but they had to be shipped by sea in the future, which was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also had to be assembled and tested after they arrived, and they had to worry about the attack of the Ming army submarine on the Soviet merchant ships at all times.

Yes, Yang Feng's submarine warfare had already begun, the Molotov was active in the waters south of Java, where it used passing Soviet merchant ships as targets for training sailors, and so far six had been sunk, and the Soviet Pacific Fleet stationed in the port of Ciraza could only exhaust the escort of those merchant ships, which was the reason for them to return to this port.

In addition, the Kunlun aircraft carrier formation, which was visiting San Francisco, also received Yang Feng's order and immediately set sail to return to China, preparing to participate in the war against Tianzhu.

The eyes of the countries that had been attracted to the battlefield in Palestine immediately widened their eyes at the subcontinent again, after all, the scale of the war there was not at the same level as the battlefield in the subcontinent, Stalin's 2 beat Sherman, jet fighters showed their might, strategic bombers washed the floor, infantry fighting vehicles attacked by surprise, which is worth studying, on the Palestinian battlefield, that kind of backward guns and artillery have a fart research value.

Not to mention anything else, the actual combat performance of a jet fighter alone is worthy of many people to take seriously, because of the excellent performance on the battlefield, the little vampire is becoming the darling of the arms market. The Havilland company has been a little soft on receiving orders recently, and they have sold more than 3,500 fighters in history, and according to the current situation, it is possible to break through 5,000 aircraft.

The business is booming, and even the people of the United States are red when they see it.

Immediately after the battlefield in Lahore, there was another shocking news that the Tianzhu people suffered heavy losses in street battles, especially their most powerful weapons, those Starling heavy tanks, were beaten by Pakistani soldiers, and in just a few days, more than half of the Starling tanks turned into torches on the streets of the city.

And the result is only an inconspicuous weapon.

On a narrow street in Lahore, a Stalin's tank was slowly moving in, from time to time spewing flames from its one-two-two-millimeter cannon to the front, creating a new ruin, and on either side of it were a large number of Tianzhu soldiers armed with Mosinagan rifles, Bobosha submachine guns, and even a new rifle that no one had ever seen, an automatic rifle, with a large curved magazine, which occasionally sprayed hot bullets in front of it.

Well, this is the AK47 that was officially put into production last year, and the Soviet Union itself only had a small amount of equipment, and this time a thousand were put into the Tianzhu battlefield for the purpose of testing it with human life.

The best way to test the performance of weapons is to go to war.

No matter how gorgeous the data is, it is useless, and human life on the battlefield is the most vocal.

In fact, Staling was using this war as a testing ground for his new weapons, just like the Spanish Civil War.

"Shelling!"

Suddenly, in the Tianzhu army, there was a frightened scream, because at this moment, a terrible whistling sound crashed over, and the dense explosion instantly swallowed this small unit, and the ferocity of the fire was like a salvo of a 105 mm artillery battery, but in fact, on a small high ground in the distance, there was only a very small and rudimentary rocket artillery, and after firing twelve rockets, four Pakistani soldiers dragged this rocket artillery away in a hurry.

Well, this is a six-three-type 107-mm rocket launcher.

The Pakistanis are very clever to use this rudimentary weapon given to them by Yang Feng in the urban street battles in Lahore, and even use it as a heavy weapon for sneak attacks, it is too light, even if there is no vehicle, a few people can drag it wherever they want, and it is even more convenient than small-caliber infantry guns, and if necessary, it can even be disassembled and moved to the roof of the building, on the wall of the Red Fort, in short, there is no place where it cannot go.

However, small-caliber infantry artillery does not have a second chance to fire at a tank, but this kind of rocket artillery can instantly rain twelve heavy rockets on the enemy's detachment, and then drag it away before the enemy tank can take aim.

This is exactly the most standard ambush.

Less than half a minute after the Pakistani artillery left, the crew of the Staling tank also woke up from the shock of the close-range explosion of the 107-millimeter rocket, and quickly found the location of the attacker from the smoke that gradually dispersed.

"Keep going!"

The Tianzhu officer, who was injured in the arm by the shell, brandished the Bobosha submachine gun in one hand, and said with a gloomy face, this round of shelling made him lose nearly a third of the soldiers, and such ambushes often occur in this city, this insidious rocket artillery, let the Tianzhu infantry suffer.

Around him, the soldiers who survived the shelling silently dragged the dead aside, leaving some people to take care of the wounded, and the rest continued to attack, fortunately they had an indestructible tank, and this powerful heavy tank was a guarantee of their confidence.

However, at the moment when the steel tracks of the Starling 2 turned again, a flash of fire suddenly shot out from the ruins nearly fifty meters ahead.

"Bazooka!"

In the frightened screams of the Tianzhu officer, the flash of fire slammed directly into the front of this Starling 2, and the explosion immediately sounded, and the metal jet from the explosion of the conical charge inside the armor-piercing shell blew at twenty-five times the speed of sound towards the solid armored steel plate. The high temperature and high speed caused the alloy steel at the impact point to flow in all directions like ice blown by hot gas, and in an instant, a small hole was easily blown out of the armor 100 millimeters thick. The jet of metal, which had not yet exhausted its power, swept through the tank like a scorching bullet with the metal droplets it carried out, and then the Staling tank stopped again, billowing smoke from inside.

"This kind of thing will turn the tank in the street battle directly into a mobile coffin."

Not far from here, several officers dressed in Soviet uniforms were silently watching the scene, and one of them put down his binoculars and said.

"It won't be long before we have our own." The other general beside him said with a shrug.

"And as far as I know, our scientists seem to have found a good way to deal with armor-piercing bullets, although this metal jet is extremely armor-piercing, but only for homogeneous armor, if you use composite armor made of a variety of materials, it will greatly weaken the armor-piercing ability of the metal jet, the development of this aspect has begun, I believe that in another five or six years at most, we can see this armored tank."

The general then added.

Apparently he knew a little more.

As soon as he finished saying this, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in front of him, and then he saw the turret of the Starling tank flying into the sky, and in the background of this scene, there were two silver twin-engine jet fighters.

Meteor. (To be continued......)
