When you know the weaknesses of your opponent, you can use your own strengths to suppress them, and it's really cool to fight like this.

The MiG-23's radar does not have the ability to look down, so they have no way to resist at all when they hide in low-altitude and launch medium-range bombs, and they are also completely at a disadvantage in close combat.

Rick didn't do much maneuvering at all, just a simple climb and dive, so that the MiG-23 fighter, which manually adjusted the wing sweep angle in different states, was in a state of hecticism, and then, easily solved the opponent with Sidewinder missiles.

In the sky, relying on the hunting team composed of Tomcat fighters and A-7s, constantly destroying Cuban anti-aircraft missiles on the ground and Cuban fighters daring to take off in the air, the skies of Angola are once again firmly in the hands of UNITA.

Along with the victory in the sky, the battle on the ground is also constantly advancing.

Benguela, the horn tank of the South African army, met again with the T-55 tank of the Cuban army.

This time, the T-55 tank did not start attacking from a long distance, but hid in the bunker, and when the Horn tank approached a distance of 800 meters, the T-55 tank came out of the bunker and killed several Horn tanks with a single precise strike.

The heroic Cuban tank crew, driving the T-55 tank, rushed to the front line, and the tank battle was carried out in the Angolan wilderness.

The engine of the T-55 tank, emitting black smoke, quickly interspersed and entered the side of the Horn tank, although surrounded by several Horn tanks, they did not seem to be afraid, and returned fire with accurate fire, and when the two sides separated, eight T-55 tanks remained on the battlefield, while the Horn tank. More than a dozen were also destroyed.

When the two sides were close enough, the advantage of the Horn tanks was no longer obvious, and in order to attack Benguella, they had to advance.

"Boom, boom." When the tank units charged again, they were keenly aware of it. The other side's Cuban tank seems to have changed its style, how can there be a V-shaped thing in front of the armor of the hull? Also, the barrel seems to be thicker than the T-55's, right?

"Boom!" This time, at a distance of 1,500 meters, a fire came out from the muzzle of the opponent's tank gun, a shell. With a whistling, he flew to the opposite side.

A Horn tank moved half of its body by virtue of its mobility, but the other side seemed to know that it was going to accelerate and the aiming was advanced, so it was still hit.

The shell pierced the armor of the Horn tank. The fire burned on the Horn tank.

The South African armored soldiers were stunned, what kind of tank is this? What kind of artillery is this? Soviet T55 100-mm gun. There is simply no way to tear their armor!

The other side continued to rush up, and the Horn tank could only temporarily choose to retreat.

Five kilometers away from the battle line, Major General Torrian, commander of the armored division of the South African Army, frowned.

Seeing that they are about to attack, even if it is worth paying some casualties. And now, the new tanks of the Soviets suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their tracks.

"We have to call the warplanes over and help us attack from the air." A staff officer said.

"No, our current Air Force. We are at war with the Cuban Air Force, and for the time being we are not able to support us, we have to rely on ourselves. Torian said, "No matter how great the sacrifice we make, we will attack it!" ”

No one knew that after killing the Soviets' munitions ship, the Soviets became even more angry, and actually used large transport planes to support a number of anti-aircraft missiles and tanks on the Angolan battlefield regardless of the transportation cost.

The arrival of the T-72 tank, relying on the superiority of 125 mm caliber guns, immediately stopped the offensive of the South African Army.

"Report to the division commander, our reinforcements are coming." At that moment, an adjutant entered the headquarters and reported to the division commander.

Reinforcements? All the ones who should have come have come, where are the reinforcements?

"They got a new tank, it's a Leopard 2." The adjutant continued.

Leopard 2? Could it be that mercenaries are coming? Torian was immediately excited: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Since this side has already been captured, the Leopard 2 was transported by guò trailer, and when Torian arrived at the scene, he saw the Leopard 2 tank getting off the trailer.

Seven load-bearing wheels, a huge hull, the barrel, so powerful, etc., how is this turret different from what you remember? What's on it?

Watching the tank rumble straight out of the trailer, Torian greeted him and watched the man emerge from the turret.

"Welcome, my friend." Torian said.

Fahim got out of the turret and looked at the qiē here, and in the distance, there was a rumbling sound, which was that the battle was still going on.

As the first armored brigade equipped with Leopard 2 tanks, and only equipped with one tank company in advance, the brigade commander of the independent armored brigade, Fahim, personally took this tank company and rushed to the Angolan battlefield. The performance of this tank still has to be tested by actual combat.

At the same time, after the Leopard 2 arrived in Pakistan, it was fitted with a turret milk cover to improve the ballistic performance, which is different from the German one, and is the latest composite armor from the Eastern countries.

"In order to drive out the hateful Soviets, let's fight together." Fahim said: "How's it going here? ”

"It's very bad that we have stubborn resistance from Cuban tank crews, and besides, they have new tanks." Major General Torian said.

"Okay, then let's eat first." "Rest first, wait until evening, and then go into battle," Fahim said. I hope you're ready, we're going to get ahead of us, and we're going to attack Benguela tonight. ”

Wait until evening? Major General Torian was a little puzzled. Moreover, the opponent is so sure that he can break through the opponent's defense?

However, this tank company did come from afar, and it was time to rest.

When dusk, the battlefield finally quieted down, both sides stopped contacting, it was time to eat, it was time to rest, and all these days of fighting, it was like this.

Fahim and the others, after eating, began to prepare busily, filling up the tank, checking the weapons, and quietly waiting for dark.

"Buzz, buzz." The familiar sound of the engine came, and Fahim looked at the South African troops that had been assembled behind him, and said to Torrian: "Follow us for a distance of three kilometers, just wait to rush into the city, and leave the road ahead to us." ”

Ten tanks, in a horizontal formation of attackers, marched forward.

It was already completely dark, and Fahim's eyes were fixed on the sights, leaning on the infrared imaging equipment, and he easily observed the front.

The wilderness here has long been crushed into potholes, and the excellent suspension makes the tank crew sitting in it still very comfortable.

"Attention, the front is about to enter the war zone." Fahim shouted lightly over the radio that the Leopard 2 was very well insulated, without the noise of the 59 tank.

Benguela city, on the outskirts, two kilometers from the Cuban armored forces.

When the armored aircraft group advances, there will be a sound on the ground, and when the Leopard 2 tank advances, the Cuban tank crew on the opposite side has long been prepared.

At the forefront, it is their hero during the day, the T-72 tank, the infrared headlights on the top of the turret, illuminating the front, although invisible to the naked eye, can be clearly seen in their infrared sighting device, which is also the standard equipment of Soviet tanks in night battles.

Unfortunately, when they turned on the infrared headlights, they couldn't see anything on the other side.

The T-72 tank gun, when firing the tail stable dìng shelling armor-piercing projectile, the firing range can reach two thousand meters, but the backward fire control limits the play of this kind of shell, especially in night battles, its effective viewing distance is only 800 meters.

Now, the distance between the two sides is two thousand meters, and the T-72 tank can't see anything, so it can only rumble up.

And in the Leopard 2 tanks opposite, those tanks with infrared headlights on are simply the best targets! Although both sides are now in motion, the Leopard 2 tank's command ritual fire control system has successfully aimed at them.

"The distance is one thousand nine, and one armor-piercing bullet." The commander continued to observe with his sights while issuing orders, and the gun commander had already begun to skillfully aim.

The loader pushed the shell into the chamber of the cannon, and it was done in two seconds.

"Boom!" With a loud roar, the tank body shook, and continued to drive forward, and a DM13 tail stabilized dìng shell-piercing shell, which flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the target.

In the sights of the commander and gun commander of the T-72 tank, they only saw the sudden fire on the opposite side, and then disappeared.

The other side has already fired a cannonball, and the other side has not seen the other side yet!

The tungsten alloy core, with a speed of nearly two kilometers per second, pierced the main armor of the T-72, easily tore the armor of the T-72, and in the torn opening, there were countless high-speed splashing armor fragments, and at the same time, the armor-piercing bullet core fragments also flew into the tank together, with high temperature, splashed everywhere, and the personnel inside were killed in this instant, and the high temperature ignited the split shell.

"Boom!" With the sound of explosions, the turret of this T-72 was lifted into the air.

Ten Leopard 2 tanks, while advancing, kept firing, and those infrared headlights on the opposite side disappeared one by one.

Launch, launch! This time, the Leopard 2 tank is mainly equipped with armor-piercing shells, which are the main types of ammunition they use in the confrontation with the opponent's armored troops.

And those tanks on the opposite side, although they were hit, still rushed up without fear of death, in a vain attempt to rely on tank sea tactics to win.

Each tank destroyed nearly 10 Cuban tanks, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was already close to within 1,000 meters, and it was almost 800 meters to the limit.

At eight hundred meters, the fire control system of the T-72 tank, which can also aim at them. (To be continued......)
