"Didn't even declare war? It was a disappointment."
Wang Chenhao, who had just watched the live broadcast of the Chinese Super League match, returned to the imperial study and learned that the Soviet Union and Germany had carved up Poland, Britain and France did not dare to declare war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
According to Wang Chenhao's prediction, Poland, as an ally of Britain and France, would definitely declare war on Germany. But the result was unexpected, perhaps because Germany was too strong, and Britain and France were indifferent to watching Poland being carved up by Germany and the Soviet Union.
"If I knew this, I should have supported Britain and France as much as possible"
Wang Chenhao regretted a little, if he had known that Germany was so strong that Britain and France would not dare to confront it head-on, the Chinese Empire should have supported Britain and France to increase their strength earlier. Now that Britain and France did not dare to declare war on Germany, the Second World War that Wang Chenhao hoped for could not break out. Then the follow-up series of plans formulated by Wang Chenhao will not be able to be launched.
After listening to Wang Chenhao's confession, "Your Majesty" Wang Shizhen said: "Germany should be the country with the most serious economic crisis, but Germany's large-scale expansion in recent years has largely passed on the economic crisis. Poland was destroyed, and there were signs that Germany was preparing to plunder Poland on a large scale, including the plundering of Polish oil, mineral resources, and labor, while Hitler was preparing to expand the anti-Semitic and international program to transfer the German economic crisis to the Polish people. ”
Wang Chenhao nodded and said: "The plundering of Poland's resources is inevitable, and the anti-Semitism and international industry are just a trick used by Hitler to pass on the domestic crisis in Germany and to paralyze Britain and France and other countries. What worries me is that Britain and France are still in the illusion that Germany will go to war with the Soviet Union, and it is too dangerous to go on like this. ”
After thinking about it, if Britain and France were not prepared if they continued to sit idly by, the tragic scene of the British and French retreat in the early days of World War II would be repeated. Judging by Germany's current strength, once history repeats itself. Then Germany will become different. It is impossible for the United States today to help Britain and France as it did in history, so Britain and France lose the support of the United States, and their forces will be wiped out by Germany in a short time. In that case, the defeat of the Entente too quickly would not be in line with Wang Chenhao's original intention of basing himself on the long-term war between the two sides.
"We have to find a way to warn Britain and France"
Wang Shizhen naturally didn't understand what Wang Chenhao was worried about, so he asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"
Wang Chenhao said: "Germany will never start a war with the Soviet Union first, although Germany is also eyeing the Soviet Union, but the biggest enemy in front of Germany will always be Britain and France." So, before the outbreak of war in the Soviet Union. Hitler will definitely hit Britain and France first. ”
Wang Shizhen said: "With the current state of Britain and France, if Germany suddenly attacks them, it will suffer a great loss."
"That's for sure," Wang Chenhao said with certainty.
"However," Wang Shizhen changed his words, and said: "France spent a lot of money to build the Maginot Line on the German-French border, this fortification is so powerful, Wei Chen was specially invited to visit it when he visited France, and this defense line can definitely block the surprise attack of the German army."
"What's the use of being strong?" Wang Chenhao snorted coldly and said: "Just like our Great Wall, I think that if we build the Great Wall, we can resist foreign insults and the world will be peaceful, but in fact, the Great Wall not only consumes the national strength. There was no way to stop the invasion of the enemy, and the same was true of the Maginot Line of the French. If the Germans had chosen to take a detour to attack France, the billions of Maginot lines would have become ornaments. ”
Wang Shizhen immediately understood the meaning of Wang Chenhao's words, and agreed: "What Your Majesty said is that the ministers will arrange people to warn Britain and France to be careful of Germany."
Wang Chenhao nodded, then remembered the affairs of the Americas, and asked, "How is the negotiation between the United States and Mexico progressing?"
Wang Shizhen replied: "On the whole, it is going smoothly, but in terms of the amount of reparations, Mexico has never agreed to the reparations, and the Americans have saved face." Ignoring the huge economic damage caused to the United States by Mexico's invasion of the United States, Mexico is only required to return the one billion dragon dollars in compensation demanded from the United States in the last Mexican-American war. And the U.S. side has given up asking for interest, and getting Mexico to return the money is actually the U.S. washing away the shame that the Mexicans inflicted on them in the last war. ”
Wang Chenhao smiled. "It is understandable to continue to put pressure on Mexico to end the war in the Americas as soon as possible, I always feel that a war in Europe is imminent, so the center of gravity of the empire should be placed on Europe."
"Obey the order" Wang Shizhen received the order, and suddenly remembered another thing, and said: "Your Majesty, in recent days, our intelligence department has successively intercepted two diametrically opposed military orders."
Wang Chenhao saw that Wang Shizhen's face was worried, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Shizhen paused, and then said: "The CIA has deciphered the communication code of the US military, and is well aware of the high-level dynamics of the US side↓As Your Majesty expected, both the Rostang government and the military are well aware of the consequences of starting a war with the Empire, so they have given up their plan to continue to march into Mexico after receiving the conditions promised by the Empire. However, the electronic reconnaissance vehicles of the 3rd Airborne Division in Monterrey intercepted the communication messages of the US troops on the opposite side, which repeatedly mentioned the contents of the military deployment of the 3rd Airborne Division and some operational plans for preparing to launch an attack on the 3rd Airborne Division. ”
Wang Chenhao frowned and asked, "How does the intelligence department judge?"
Wang Shizhen replied: "The intelligence department can determine that the top level of the United States is preparing to withdraw troops from Mexico, but before the withdrawal of American troops, the US Self-Defense Forces command asked the US military to loot the local Mexican wealth as a retaliatory action that Mexico may not pay reparations to the United States."
Wang Chenhao asked again: "After all, we are not on the front line, we should listen to the meaning of the front-line generals."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Wang Shizhen nodded and said: "We informed Fan Pingren, commander of the 3rd Airborne Division, about this situation, and Fan Pingren's attitude is that it is very likely that Scott, the front-line commander of the US army, is dissatisfied with the military intervention of the empire and is ready to teach the empire some lessons, and it is not ruled out that Scott will unilaterally attack our army in violation of the orders of the US high-level."
Wang Chenhao thought for a while and said: "If Scott does this, it can only be regarded as his personal behavior, and before the U.S. government removes him, if he attacks the imperial team, it can only be judged as a military conflict between the two sides." In other words, the U.S. government only needs to sanction Scott to give an account to the empire, without affecting the overall peace trend between China and the United States. ”
"That's right," Wang Shizhen said.
Wang Chenhao suddenly said: "Immediately send a warning to the United States, asking them to restrain Scott if Scott causes losses to the empire." Then the consequences will be borne by the United States. ”
Wang Shizhen understood what Wang Chenhao meant, so he did what he wanted and put pressure on the US government.
As Washington was in ruins, the U.S. government moved to New York, and Roosevelt's presidential palace was temporarily housed in a church in New York.
After receiving the protest of the Chinese Empire, Roosevelt quickly realized that the Chinese Empire had something to say, so he hurriedly called a meeting of senior officials of the Self-Defense Forces. MacArthur quickly judged that there was a problem with the U.S. Expeditionary Force in Mexico, and he quickly identified Scott, the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, as he was making a small move.
"Scott has to be stopped"
Roosevelt did not hesitate to express his opinion.
MacArthur did not answer Roosevelt directly. Instead, he said: "Scott should want to compete with the Chinese Emperor, but he is not a reckless person. So I think Scott will take control. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Roosevelt looked at MacArthur with dissatisfaction.
MacArthur smiled: "My meaning is very simple, I agree with Scott's small moves, so that you can test the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor." After all, the Chinese Empire is our worst enemy. ”
"Are you crazy?" Roosevelt suddenly said angrily: "You are walking a tightrope on the brazier by doing this, once the situation gets out of control and the Chinese Empire goes to war against us?" We have just finished our war of aggression against Mexico and are immediately going to war with the Chinese Empire, which country in history do you see so stupid?"
MacArthur just smiled faintly and said, "Listen to me."
Roosevelt snorted coldly. Turn your head to the side. MacArthur smiled wryly and continued: "Mexico has been defeated by us. In a short period of time, Mexico simply does not have the strength to confront us. Now our military focus must be shifted to dealing with the Chinese Empire, and the removal of the Chinese Empire's privileges in the United States can only be achieved by force. And in the past ten years, we have no idea how much strength the Chinese Empire has hidden, just like this Monterrey airborne, which is really shocking. If Scott can properly test the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor, we can know how strong the enemy really is, and how big ♀ the gap between us and the enemy is, so that we can arrange the next preparations. If you miss this opportunity, it will be impossible to find an opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor in the future. ”
Roosevelt though he didn't want to listen. But knowing that MacArthur's words were reasonable, he slowed down and asked, "But what if the situation gets out of control?"
MacArthur smiled: "It's very simple, hand Scott over to the Chinese Empire for trial, and then promise some benefits to the Chinese Empire, as long as the Chinese Empire believes that it is not our dominance, but Scott's personal behavior, then there is room for maneuver."
Roosevelt suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a while, Roosevelt said: "Anyway, Mexico will definitely not pay us compensation, rather than let us not come down like this, it is better to let Scott make a fuss, and it is naturally good to make a fuss, and if we fall out, we will simply give up asking for reparations from Mexico as compensation."
MacArthur nodded and said, "This will definitely work, as long as you give the Chinese Empire a step down, it should be easy to clean up the aftermath."
Roosevelt glared at MacArthur angrily and said, "Do you think the Chinese Empire really doesn't want to fight us?" That would be a big mistake, our intelligence officers showed that there were only two countries in the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, one was Germany, and the other was us. Therefore, the Chinese empire did not forget to strike us at any moment. It's just that now Germany has not been defeated by the economic crisis, but has expanded aggressively, carving up Poland with the Soviet Union, and the proximity of the Soviet Union and Germany must have made the Chinese Empire uneasy, and the Chinese Empire also thought that attacking the United States was likely to not be able to make back the money from the shells it had fired, so it maintained restraint as it is now. ”
"Can't get a shell back?"
MacArthur was immediately petrified by Roosevelt's humorous explanation.
In this way, after Roosevelt and MacArthur had a secret discussion, he only symbolically sent an order to Admiral Scott, who was far away in Mexico, to restrain his subordinates from rubbing with the Chinese emperor. However, he did not mean to remove Scott from his post, let alone let Scott quickly withdraw his troops and return home, but accused Mexico of not paying reparations in negotiations with Mexico for not having the sincerity of negotiations, and at the same time accused the Mexican army of still being assembled and posing a threat to the US military.
The series of moves by the United States are nothing more than an attempt to create an advantage in favor of the United States in public opinion. However, the Mexican army did not mean to completely surrender to defeat, and seeing that the Chinese emperor directly intervened, he thought that he could drag the Chinese empire into the water, as long as the Sino-Mexican alliance army attacked the US army again. Then you can recover all the losses that Mexico has suffered before.
It can be said that the Mexican military is also ready to move, constantly creating friction near the Line of Actual Control between the United States and Mexico. From time to time, skirmishes erupt between the two sides, which are understandable in international practice. But this gave Scott an excuse, and soon Scott was ready, and after a blatant provocation by the Mexican army, Scott used the excuse that an American patrol was ambushed by the Mexican army. So he publicly declared that he would take revenge.
However, Scott's real goal was the Third Airborne Division of the Chinese Empire in Monterrey, and when he transferred the strength of two armored divisions to disperse into more than a dozen small units to attack and harass the Mexican army's side, creating the ‖illusion of a "small-scale military conflict", Scott personally led the 11th Armored Division, the most elite of the US army, to enter the actual control area of the Chinese emperor in the name of pursuing the "murderer" who attacked the US army, and prepared for a one-on-one contest with the Chinese emperor.
Because Scott himself knew in his heart that the current strength of the United States could not compete with the Chinese Empire, he did not use hundreds of thousands of troops to prevent the situation from expanding. In order to test the true combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor and evaluate the combat effectiveness of the US army, Scott chose to test the combat effectiveness of both the enemy and us in the form of armored division against armored division.
Although Scott believed that an armored division of the American army was equal to the third airborne division of the Chinese Emperor. But in reality, there is a large gap in the strength of the two sides. The total strength of the Third Airborne Division of the Chinese Emperor was only more than 12,900 people, and it was an airborne division. And not the regular armored divisions of the Imperial Army. The standard establishment of the armored division of the Imperial Chinese Army is 18,000 people. It has jurisdiction over 1 division headquarters and division headquarters company, 2 armored brigade headquarters and brigade headquarters companies (a total of 8 tank battalions, 2 infantry brigade headquarters and brigade headquarters companies (8 infantry battalions, 1 engineer brigade, 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion, 1 military intelligence battalion, 1 communications battalion, and 1 division artillery headquarters (under the jurisdiction of 3 155 mm self-propelled howitzer battalions, 1 rocket artillery battalion, 1 division support headquarters, 1 chemical company, 1 military police company and 1 division band).
The division is mainly equipped with 400 M28A1/A2/A3 series full-tracked main battle tanks, 416 M30 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, 120 M29 anti-tank fighting vehicles, 408 full-track armored personnel carriers, 267 tracked command post carriers, 280 Raytheon-17 rocket artillery fighting vehicles, and 72 155-mm self-propelled howitzers. 66 105-mm self-propelled mortars, 24 land-based vehicle-mounted "Vulcan" anti-aircraft guns modified from the Navy's Vulcan Phalanx system, and 5,281 radio stations and radars of various types ‖ hours. The Army's armored divisions are completely dependent on the army's own supplies and cannot be supplied by the Air Force, so the army's armored divisions still have thousands of various transport and supply vehicles.
It can be said that the airborne division of the Chinese Empire is nothing more than a simplified army armored division, because the equipment required by this branch of the army needs to take into account the ability of airdrop, requiring strong firepower, light weight, earthquake resistance, strong waterproof ability and other harsh requirements, so the scale is far lower than that of regular armored divisions.
Despite this, the comprehensive firepower and combat effectiveness of the 3rd Airborne Division of the Chinese Emperor were still much stronger than those of the 11th Armored Division of the US Army.
Due to the long-term military sanctions imposed by the Chinese Empire during the treaty era, the newly established armored division of the US army completely referred to the standards of the German armored division, with a total strength of only 12,000 troops. Armament: 30 anti-tank guns, 174 light machine guns, 46 heavy machine guns, 36 50-mm mortars, 18 81-mm mortars, 36 37-mm PAK36 anti-tank guns, 10 75-mm infantry guns, 24 105-mm light howitzers, 4 150-mm heavy howitzers, 12 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, 152 No. 2 main battle tanks, 3 command vehicles, 96 armored vehicles, There are 1,300 motorcycles, 510 automobiles, and 1,462 horse-drawn carriages, so it can be said that they have not yet been fully mechanized.
Compared with the Third Airborne Division of the Chinese Emperor, the strength is equal, but the firepower is a big difference. The anti-tank troops, artillerymen, medical personnel, and logistics personnel of the US armored division fought in the open air and did not protect their combat vehicles, while the non-main personnel and logistics personnel of the Chinese Emperor all had anti-tank combat vehicles, wheeled infantry combat vehicles, electronic combat vehicles, radar combat vehicles, engineering vehicles, medical vehicles, and supply vehicles that could be protected, and most of them carried self-defense weapons. The impact of this gap between the two sides on the overall battle is also crucial.
And actually. From the very beginning, the movements and operational objectives of Scott's 11th Panzer Division had already been mastered by the Chinese Emperor. The electronic reconnaissance combat vehicle of the 3rd Airborne Division intercepted part of Scott's wireless telegram to his subordinates, and the scouts also listened to some commands from the telephone lines on the ground, so Fan Binh Ren, commander of the 3rd Airborne Division, immediately made a combat deployment favorable to his side.
The vanguard of the 11th Armored Division of the US Army quickly cleared anti-tank obstacles and minefields, and the anti-tank combat vehicles and anti-tank snipers of the Chinese Emperor who were lying in ambush nearby suddenly opened fire.
For the anti-tank combat vehicles of the Chinese Empire, from the very beginning, under the guidance of Wang Chenhao, they embarked on the road of self-propelled howitzers. Because Wang Chenhao understands. Anti-tank fighting vehicles will be replaced by self-propelled guns in the future, so from the very beginning the anti-tank fighting vehicles of the Chinese Empire were equipped with self-propelled howitzer systems, which had a firing angle from 0 degrees to 70 degrees, which could fire both directly and curved, that is, from the front directly at the enemy's tank, and with a curved trajectory to attack the enemy tank hidden or the enemy infantry hiding behind the enemy's tank. Therefore, although it is still called an anti-tank fighting vehicle, it is actually a self-propelled gun that combines a solid anti-tank and a mortar for battlefield support. Because the emperor is used to it, when it comes to the Z29 model, it is still called an anti-tank fighting vehicle.
"Bang Bang Bang"
After a fierce attack. More than a dozen Type II tanks of the US army were fiercely attacked by anti-tank fighting vehicles and anti-tank sniper rifles of the Chinese Emperor who were lying in ambush in hiding places. Three tanks were destroyed on the spot, four tanks broke down, two tanks were pierced through the armor by anti-tank sniper rifles of 25 mm caliber, and the American driver inside was killed by ricochet.
"Knock Knock"
A series of artillery sounds rang out from the American positions, and immediately a burst of shells whistled.
The commander of the US army, Admiral Scott, kept an eye on the battlefield, and when he discovered that an anti-tank unit of the Chinese Emperor was ambushed in the obstacle zone, he immediately ordered artillery to cover these targets.
In an instant, the bullets rained down, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.
It's just that the Chinese Emperor who was ambushed there just now has already shifted his position. It went to the next ambush point, so the American artillery shells did not have the desired effect.
After the shelling, the U.S. military quickly dispatched towing trucks and rescue teams to "clean up the road and rescue the surviving U.S. soldiers."
At this time, the advantage of the Z29 anti-tank combat vehicle of the Chinese emperor came. The vehicle-mounted howitzer quickly switched from straight fire to curved fire, corrected its trajectory, and fired a mortar used to eliminate the U.S. rescue team.
"Bang Bang Bang"
A grenade exploded violently, and in an instant, flames erupted, and the tractor that was trying to break the destroyed US tank off the road was blown up, and dozens of officers and men of the US ambulance team thought that they would be safe and sound by hiding behind the tank to rescue, but they were blown to pieces by the grenades that came from the curved fire.
Scott did not know the combat performance of the Z29 anti-tank fighting vehicle, and in his impression, anti-tank fighting vehicles were all direct-fire cannons and the like, and such a curved trajectory at such a close range could only be a large-caliber mortar.
The US military immediately launched a retaliatory artillery bombardment, and hundreds of shells were smashed, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air in an instant. But soon Scott was dumbfounded, he thought that the Chinese Imperial soldiers who had just used mortars to attack the American army would be reimbursed by this shell, but he saw that they were anti-tank fighting vehicles with muzzles that could be adjusted at any time.
"It turns out that anti-tank combat vehicles are replaced with howitzers, and there is still such a purpose"
Scott made a note in his heart, and couldn't help but admire that the Chinese Emperor was always so advanced in terms of combat awareness, and he was a big step ahead of the American army, which really made people envious, jealous and hateful.
"This road can't be crossed, and you can't change the way"
Scott understands that he can't even beat each other if he consumes it like this. And he didn't have much time, and it wouldn't be long before the Chinese Empire would put pressure on the United States, and the Ross Town would remove Scott from his post and put an end to this "unexpected" military conflict.
Soon, the US military found a remote path with no obstacles and mines. As a result, Scott ordered the 3rd Armored Brigade to continue to attract the firepower and attention of the Chinese Emperor in the front, while the 1st and 2nd Armored Brigades turned around and took the path, preparing to attack the Chinese Emperor's main position from the flank.
To be on the safe side, Scott ordered an armored tank battalion to act as the vanguard and an armored tank company to serve as a flank guard detachment to explore the way ahead, and the two units to keep a distance and be on guard, and if they found something wrong, they would cross cover and retreat.
The Chinese Imperial reconnaissance planes in the air quickly discovered the movements of the US troops and transmitted the information back to the division headquarters of the 3rd Airborne Division.
"The U.S. military has entered our fire bag"
Chief of Staff Kong Lingjun said with a smile on his face, and it could be seen from his expression that this was what he wanted to happen the most.
Division Commander Fan Pingren nodded and said, "I don't know what this Scott thinks, with hundreds of thousands of troops, the battle of such a division against a division is really incredible."
Kong Lingjun said: "I think this Scott has concerns. After all, throwing hundreds of thousands of troops into battle at once is not a skirmish and conflict, but another war. Scott didn't want to create an unending situation for the US authorities, so he came up with this unbelievable tactic. ”
Fan Pingren agreed: "It sounds like such a reason, but the game I painstakingly prepared is used to deal with the entire armored army of the United States, and it is really a waste to destroy an armored division."
"Report that the enemy has entered the fire bag"
"That's just a bait for them to try, and I don't have to deal with them. The order was given to go down, to spare the enemy's vanguard and the flank guard troops, and to prepare to attack the enemy's main force from the flank. ”
In this way, the vanguard armored unit of the US army passed through the fire bag unharmed. Scott thought his was superfluous. But he was still careful and asked the main forces to wait.
After learning the news that the main forces of the US army did not follow up directly. Fan Pingren also admired Scott's keen sense of smell, but Fan Pingren quickly took action to force Scott to act.
"Order the 3rd Tank Battalion to launch an attack on the vanguard of the American Army"
The order was issued, and 12 M28A2 main battle tanks, 12 M16A5 light tanks and 24 M30 wheeled infantry vehicles of the 3rd Tank Battalion of the Chinese Emperor quickly dispatched to meet the 44th Tank Battalion of the US Army head-on.
The chariot roared and moved quickly through the field.
The M28A2 main battle tank stopped at 1,000 meters and launched a fierce attack on the enemy tank with its muzzle. After every two shells fired. The vehicle is immediately activated to shift position, not giving the enemy tank a chance to aim.
Since tanks of this era did not have gyroscopes, tank guns could not aim and fire on bumpy field marches. You can only stop the vehicle, aim and fire. Thus, tanks on both sides have a chance to hit each other.
However, the mobility and range of the M28A2 main battle tank of the Chinese Emperor surpassed that of the No. 2 main battle tank of the US army, so the US tank battalion had to continue to advance, and the US tanks did not fire one after another until they entered a distance of about 600 meters.
By this time, the American army had already lost two tanks, and the Chinese Emperor was unscathed.
An American tank seized a favorable firing position during the maneuver and aimed at a Chinese Emperor tank that had just stopped and was about to fire.
"I'm aiming for him"
The American gunner shouted happily as the gunner loaded a shell into the chamber.
"Fire"
The gunner shouted, and at the same time pulled the trigger.
With a roar, a 70-mm armor-piercing projectile was fired at the M28A2 tank in front.
"Boom"
After a loud bang, the shell hit the tank accurately. A huge flame rose into the air, and the American gunners shouted happily.
"Hit it, I hit it"
However, at this moment, the situation reversed. Seeing that the M28A2 main battle tank that had just been hit by the shell was not destroyed, the smiles of the three American soldiers in the tank suddenly froze. It turned out that the M28A2 main battle tank used inclined armor, which was originally equivalent to more than 100 mm of protection after the armor was tilted, and the US army's 70mm armor-piercing projectiles could not penetrate it at a distance of 500 meters.
With a sound of metal grinding, the attacked M28 main battle tank seemed to be furious, the turret quickly turned, and the black hole muzzle was aimed at the enemy who had just sneaked up on it.
"Damn Run"
The three American soldiers suddenly woke up, and the driver hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and prepared to flee.
But it's already too late.
"Knock"
The opposite M28A2 main battle tank opened fire, and a 65-mm armor-piercing projectile was fired, hitting the American tank in a fold.
With a loud "boom", the US tank was destroyed in an instant, the turret flew more than ten meters away, and the entire tank was in a sea of flames, and thick smoke was billowing.
This is just a small microcosm, for the US tank troops, although they are driving Germany's most advanced No. 2 main battle tank, they do not have much actual combat experience. Because their opponents, the Mexican armored forces, were dumber than them, just like playing chess with a stinky chess basket and getting more and more stupid, the combat effectiveness of the US tank units was not qualitatively improved.
But their opponent is the Emperor of China, the tank force of the Chinese Empire has experienced the test of blood and fire, and its combat effectiveness is strong, coupled with the M28A2 Leopard main battle tank, which is known as the king of land warfare, it is quite easy to fight the US tank.
In less than half an hour, the US tank battalion lost more than two-thirds of its losses, and when it was surrounded ♀ by the Chinese Imperial Tank Battalion, the commander of the US tank battalion immediately asked Scott for help.
Scott had been skeptical about this route for a long time, and the soldier's instincts made him feel dangerous. But when he learned that the tank battalion in front of him was attacked head-on by the Chinese Emperor, he immediately ordered the main force to advance quickly.
"Pass as fast as you can and join the vanguard"
The order was issued, and the 1st and 2nd Armored Brigades quickly moved forward↓ 100 No. 2 main battle tanks rolled up the dust in the sky and entered the fire bags carefully arranged by the Chinese Emperor.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Scott's main force entered the ambush position of the Chinese Emperor. Soon, roaring from all directions rained down on the Americans from tank guns, anti-tank guns, Thor rocket launchers, 75mm infantry guns, 105mm howitzers, 60mm mortars, and 81mm mortars.
In an instant, Scott's main armored forces were heavily damaged, and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. Since this is a fire bag carefully arranged by the Chinese Emperor, the cannonballs fired from all directions cannot be dodged, and it can be said that there are no blind spots and dead spots for shooting.
Scott's heart was not rushed, he was ambushed, and he was so angry that he pounded his chest.
gt,
