Although the 1st Amphibious Division stopped to capture the Indian native soldiers, it did not relax its vigilance against the British troops in the distance, and they left the 1st Amphibious Division and 1st Battalion to serve as a vigilance.

The 1st Amphibious Division and 1st Battalion were armed with five TK-96 main battle tanks and 10 BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicles, and these fifteen armored vehicles formed five assault groups, which monitored the direction of the main British forces in the north under the cover of a wood.

Xu Jinzheng, the commander of the first battalion, was sitting in the TK-96 main battle tank, and complained to his three company commanders on the communicator: "I heard that Lin Shuai recently made a brand new main battle tank, have you heard?" ”

A company commander said: "Of course I heard that the latest tank model is called 'TK-99', also known as 'Type 99 main battle tank', which is very powerful. ”

Another company commander also said: "That's right, it is said that at the armored confrontation training base in Changchun, northeast, one TK-99 killed five TK-96s!" ”

Xu Jin asked in surprise: "One kills five?" Really? You're, aren't you? ”

The company commander said: "I'm not talking nonsense, what I said is true, I have a classmate who is now at that base in the northeast, and he personally told me." ”

Xu Jin said disdainfully: "That classmate of yours must be fooling you, I don't believe that the Type 99 main battle tank can kill five TK-96s in one piece, if it's true, then you tell me what advanced weapons and equipment the Type 99 tank has?" ”

The company commander said helplessly: "I also want to know, but my classmates refused to say it, saying that it was top secret, and that they would go to a military court." ”

Xu Jin sighed and said, "When will you be able to distribute that kind of tank?" ”

Several company commanders sighed and expressed that there was little hope, and at this moment, suddenly the nervous voice of the scout came from the communicator: "Report to the battalion commander, an unknown armored vehicle has been found in the north direction, the number is unknown, 3.5 kilometers away from our department." ”

Xu Jin hurriedly asked, "What is an unknown armored vehicle?" ”

The scout said: "Report to the battalion commander, the opponent's armored vehicle is not in our identification manual, it should be a certain type of brand-new armored vehicle of the British army, with a main gun, it should be a new tank of the enemy." ”

Xu Jin immediately said: "Pay attention to vigilance and report the situation at any time." ”

Xu Jin then adjusted the communication channel to talk to the whole battalion, and said: "Attention of all units, an unknown British armored vehicle has been found due north, and the preliminary judgment is that it is a new type of enemy tank!" ”

Xu Jin asked his subordinates to prepare for battle, and then reported the news to his superiors, and after the briefing, he thought: "The enemy tanks are only 3.5 kilometers away from us, and it must be too late to let the helicopters fly over, I don't know how many enemy tanks there are?" If there are few of them, we'll kill them. ”

Xu Jin adjusted the communication frequency to the frequency used by the scouts and asked, "Do you see the number of enemy troops?" ”

The scout replied, "I see clearly, there are nine enemy tanks in total, in three wedges, and it seems that they should be the advance force of the enemy army." ”

Xu Jin thought to himself: "Only nine? Then we'll have more than enough to deal with them! So Xu Jin ordered a battalion to move to the north to meet the enemy tanks!

Five tanks and ten infantry fighting vehicles then set off and headed for the direction where the British tanks were, and Xu Jin was worried that the infantry fighting vehicles would be attacked by the enemy, so he asked the infantry fighting vehicles to follow 400 meters behind the tanks.

Although this area is a plain, the terrain on the plain is also undulating, so Xu Jin and the others did not see the British tanks for a while, but the scouts had already told them, and the British tanks were on the low slope in front, and they could be seen when they went up the low slope.

Xu Jin first went up the low slope, and saw a group of tanks on the opposite side from a distance, Xu Jin felt that the distance was about 1500 meters, and he immediately ordered: "Open the cannon, destroy them!" ”

Xu Jin used the commander's periscope to look at the opposite tank after giving the order, only to see that the tank on the opposite side was obviously two sizes larger than his own tank, the whole body was painted in yellow, the long barrel was out, and a smoke extractor was installed in the middle of the barrel, and the tail of the tank gun was inside the closed tank turret, if the smoke in the barrel could not be smoked, it would greatly affect the crew's operation, and during the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese tank did not have a smoke extractor, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese crew was greatly reduced. The Japanese tanks were completely inferior in the contest with the Chinese tanks.

Xu Jin saw the smoke on the barrel of the gun and thought that the British tanks were still improving, but at this moment, he only heard the gun commander say loudly: "Aim is complete, fire the gun!" ”

After the gun commander said this, he pressed the firing button, and there was a "boom" sound, and there was a slight earthquake in the turret, and Xu Jin saw a puff of smoke floating outside the commander's periscope, and then saw a puff of light smoke rising from a tank opposite.

Xu Jin laughed loudly: "Good fight!" Hit! ”

But to Xu Jin's surprise, the tank that was hit only stopped for a moment, and then drove in his direction, and the place where it was hit on the body was obviously missing, which was left by the explosion of the explosive reactive armor by the shaped energy armor-piercing projectile, and the explosion of the reactive armor block.

Xu Jin's mind turned for a moment, and he secretly thought that his shells must not have seriously damaged the enemy's tank, and if it did, the metal jet would kill and injure the gun commander and commander inside, so that the tank would definitely not continue to advance to its position.

Xu Jin turned his head to the gun commander and said, "The armor-piercing bullet is not good, they used reactive armor and tried to shoot an armor-piercing bullet." ”

The gun commander operated on the control panel for a while, and put an armor-piercing bullet into the gun chamber, which was a tungsten-uranium alloy tail stable dìng shell-piercing shell, which was the type of armor-piercing bullet that severely damaged the German tank unit in the Sino-German tank battle in Estonia.

The gun commander pressed the firing button, this time the "boom" was louder than the previous one, and the vibration of the turret was more intense, because the armor-piercing bullet and the armor-piercing bullet are different, the armor-piercing bullet does not need a high speed when it is fired, and the speed is too fast may also affect the armor-piercing effect, so the number of propellant charges of the armor-piercing bullet is relatively small, and the armor-piercing bullet is different, the armor-piercing bullet relies on kinetic energy to penetrate the armor, so it requires a high speed, so the number of charges is large when it is fired, and the sound and vibration are relatively large.

This shell hit the British tank again, and to Xu Jin's surprise, this armor-piercing shell did not penetrate the enemy tank, and the long rod was actually embedded in the armor of the British tank!

This situation is also normal, although the long rod of the armor-piercing shell is made of tungsten uranium alloy, but the caliber of the tank gun is only 100 mm after all, and the firing speed of the shell is greatly limited, and the opponent's armor is very thick, and the armor-piercing shell cannot penetrate it.
