The armor-piercing projectile fired by the Merkava-3 main gun directly hit the Apocalypse Tank, but the Apocalypse Tank, which uses carbon fiber high-strength attachment materials, has a defensive ability far beyond any alloy.

The tracer missile flew directly from the oblique angle of the turret's wedge-shaped armor and crashed into the large iron gate of a store on the side of the street, drilling a huge hole in the entire iron gate, and the entire iron gate was also twisted and fell directly.

The main battle tank using carbon fiber composite materials is only under development in all countries in the world, in fact, even if it is developed, it is difficult to make the armor of the main battle tank.

Otherwise, the cost of a main battle tank will soar to hundreds of millions of dollars, and no one can afford to use such a tank.

The Red Police Corps could not afford such an expensive tank, and only those command tanks had carbon fiber composite armor covering a part to protect all the vital parts of the tank.

On the normal Apocalypse tank, there is also a part of this carbon fiber material, and the defensive part is mainly covered with the top and front end of the turret equipped with a large number of electronic systems, and it also protects the small vertical launch system on the turret to ensure that the missiles and shells on the ground will not be destroyed by the armor when the opponent's anti-tank missiles or bazookas attack from top to bottom.

So up to now, although the IDF soldiers have been initiating and attacking the Apocalypse tanks on the streets, not a single tank has been destroyed, and not even a single Apocalypse tank has lost its combat effectiveness.

The periscope system and sighting system in the car, under the shells and missiles of the opposing side, were all intact.

Otherwise, if these things are knocked out, the soldiers in the tank will be blind and will not be able to see anything. The combat effectiveness of the tank has become zero, and it can only be repaired after waiting for safety, and even many times, the tank crew is needed, and the tank crew is required to abandon the tank and leave first.

On the other hand, in the face of the more powerful chemical main gun of the Apocalypse Tank, the Merkava main battle tank on the left, like the Merkava on the right before, was destroyed in an instant.

The main gun of the Apocalypse Tank, although it is only a caliber of 120 mm, is definitely at an excess level, and at a distance of 800 meters, it can easily penetrate 1,200 mm of superalloy armor.

There is no tank in the world that can block such an attack, even if it is equipped with active reactive armor, it is completely useless at the ultra-high muzzle velocity of the main gun shells of the Apocalypse tank.

When the shell hits the explosive reactive armor, it will also directly penetrate the tank's armor, even if it is equipped with external ceramic armor, it will not have much effect.

The advent of the Apocalypse Tank has heralded the obsolescence of all main battle tanks in the world, but in this era of overall confrontation that is no longer a soldier-to-soldier king-to-king, the advancement of a piece of equipment is simply not enough to influence the trend of a war.

If the Apocalypse Tank leaves, the anti-aircraft weapons on it can only destroy the approaching helicopters, and if it is a fighter in the sky that comes to attack, the Apocalypse Tank will still only be beaten.

And in the face of air-to-surface missile strikes, the Apocalypse tank is also difficult to resist.

However, being able to become a hegemon in ground combat is a natural advantage in itself.

Especially in urban combat, the Apocalypse Tank, a tank that can resist anti-tank missiles well and can also resist the attack of the enemy's main battle tank, will give the attacking side a very huge advantage.

At the same time, it can also greatly damage the morale of the enemy, after all, in the face of a tank that can resist most attacks, the inner pressure of the opponent will increase.

"Moving on, our goal now is to take control of the T-junction ahead, establish a defensive line, and establish a stable stronghold for the follow-up troops."

Easily took out the two Merkava's Sun cannons, looked at the co-pilot beside him, who was recording the battle results, turned his head to look at the wreckage of the two burning tanks in front of him, and gave an order to the whole battalion.

The T-shaped junction in front of us is the first target of the Tiger Battalion, which is 1,500 meters away from the outside of Jerusalem, only three kilometers from the city center, and the entire length of Jerusalem from north to south is nine kilometers.

On both sides of this T-shaped junction, there is an arc-shaped line around the city center, and opposite the Tiger camp at this moment is an old town that is a bit old, built on a high hillside with a lot of area.

According to the intelligence of the special forces, a large number of elite Israeli troops are hidden in this old city, occupying the terrain of the city and laying out a large number of strong defensive lines.

At present, there are no civilians in the old city, in fact, the Israeli military is well aware that this old city is more than 1,000 meters long, and the highest place is more than 300 meters above sea level, which is the commanding height of the entire city.

And the traffic is extensive, no matter what kind of army, if you want to control Jerusalem, you must control the commanding heights of the city.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to control the city, because the troops guarding the old city are able to launch a counterattack from any direction at any time.

Obviously, the IDF defense forces have turned this old city into a hill in the city, and intend to have a battle of urban positions with the troops of the Iraq-Syria Federation.

Positional warfare is inherently difficult to fight, occupying high ground, condescending, coupled with the factor of urban street fighting, no matter which commander encounters such a problem, he will have a little headache.

And the Israelis are also very clear that this place will inevitably become the target of the key attack of the entire Iraq-Syrian Federation, and there will inevitably be an extremely ferocious attack at that time, and all Israel in this old city has been transferred to the mountains early.

The entire Old Town is full of defensive positions, which can be used for counterattacks everywhere, and there are many cellars connected together, which have become underground bunkers in this defensive area, which can be used to avoid the superior artillery fire and bombardment of the attackers.

It can even be used to hide troops and recapture captured areas at night.

The First Army of the Red Guard, as the Israeli military had predicted, could not avoid the high ground in the city, which covered an area of nearly 15 square kilometers.

It can even be said that there is no way to avoid it, there is no way to go around, no matter how difficult this place is, it must be gnawed down.

Therefore, the First Army entrusted the task of attacking this high ground to the most elite Marin Division under its command. (To be continued.) )
