"What's going on! ――Is the wire blown off by the wind, which guy should go and take a look! ”

"Keep an eye out for what's going on in the neighborhood and don't run around!"

"-Hey! Don't shoot blindly, you'll hit the tanker! ……”

While planting the bomb, while running in small steps next to the truck, Long Yun and others wearing night vision devices easily avoided the rebel soldiers who were standing in the dark or standing in a daze, or walking and groping, at this time, the consciousness of the spy suddenly issued a warning signal, Long Yun immediately tilted his head, only to see a rebel a few steps away was about to pull out a flashlight, he jumped behind this guy in two steps without hesitation, and suddenly stretched out his arm like lightning, and the unsuspecting rebel was immediately "click-" and was broken his cervical vertebrae, and he collapsed to the ground silently.

Encountering enemy troops next to the tanker truck is extremely dangerous if it is discovered, who knows if the rebels will shoot indiscriminately with brain cramps, and if the tanker truck is blown up, everyone will have to fly into the sky!

In the extremely dangerous battlefield, the tension xù inspired a change in the style of acting, Long Yun's shot was fast and ruthless, he and Saeed placed the bomb in twos and threes, and then while running, he raised his hand to hit the code on the walkie-talkie microphone, signaling the second lieutenant to retreat quickly.

The lights went out, the sand and dust were everywhere, and suddenly a large dazzling fireball erupted in the dark streets of the town.

The sudden attack of the bomb, a large cloud of bright and dazzling flaming flames, surrounded by shockwaves and debris, and the remote-controlled* bomb that detonated almost at the same time, turned the whole street into a raging and raging fire dragon; The momentum of the explosion was so amazing that even Long Yun and the others, who ran one or two hundred meters away, could feel the ground trembling under their feet, and the sky was as bright as day in an instant. The entire sky turned a dim yellow with orange firelight.

With a surprise attack. Tension was already in the air in Salicia. The three of them took advantage of the chaos to return to the basement, and along the way, they saw that the town was in chaos, with piercing explosions and gunshots almost everywhere.

Suddenly stabbed in a hornet's nest, and in the face of the tragic destruction of the tanker trucks, they seemed to be suspicious of the activities of the New Party contingent in the town, and the Liberal forces who were in a hurry to deal with it soon began to search everywhere. In the middle of the night when visibility is poor, the rebels who are in a hurry will inevitably misjudge each other's identities. For a while, there was a lot of fire in the city of Salisia, and before the ground troops of the New Party could kill them, there were several accidental injuries between the rebels, and the situation was gradually falling into uncontrollable chaos.

While the city of Salicia was in turmoil, the situation on the front line was moving more rapidly, and the Iraqi attack was already closing in on the border town.

Seeing that the new party forces were approaching the outskirts of the city and receiving an urgent order from the commander, the rebels, who had been storming like thunder and driving tanks on a rampage in the streets, could only immediately form a group and go out of the city to fight. Just after being attacked by a sneak attack, all the fuel was lost, and the logistics personnel also took the local plane, as Long Yun expected. Now each Leopard II tank has only a little fuel left, and in a hurry there is simply no way to collect enough diesel fuel from the vicinity. The grumbling rebel tankmen could only urge the steel behemoth to rumble in, ready to jump out of the car and flee as soon as the fuel ran out.

However, even if you receive an order and go into battle immediately, it is too late for a fast-paced encounter.

The night was still dark, the wind and sand were howling on the ground, and the rebel "Leopard II" tanks painted in desert camouflage, because they were unfamiliar with the terrain and had to open their hatches and identify each other with the help of their tail lights, they traveled all the way to the end of the street south of Salicia.

The armored units of the Iraqi New Party, which came from the southeast and attacked all the way along the Tigris River valley, were fully deployed in the open area on the outskirts of Salicia, the T-72M1 main battle tanks with roaring engines, the infrared searchlights were all turned on "brightly", the BMP-2E combat vehicles behind the buttocks were carrying missile launchers, the tracks ran all the way through the desert sand, and all the vehicles on the armored impact line had flat barrels and rushed towards the Syrian rebels in the northwest.

In the face of the Iraqis' onslaught, the rebel "Leopard II" tank battalion, which had just swarmed out of the streets of the town and had no room for any tactical play, gradually moved forward, and the two sides continued to move in opposite directions until they were only a few hundred meters apart from each other.

Visibility was extremely poor, but the enemy was spotted one after another, and a skirmish between tanks broke out.

The vehicle jolted forward, the sights were very aimed at the target, and with the tense movements of the gun commander, the muzzle flash of the smoothbore gun suddenly tore through the night sky, and the screaming long-pole armor-piercing bullets flew back and forth on the line of fire, occasionally mixed with a few anti-tank missiles with flying tail flames, and the loud sound of the bomb detonating in the combat vehicle was simply deafening, and the steel behemoths that collided head-on suddenly fell into a life-and-death contest!

The violent bombardment between tanks and large-caliber smoothbore guns made the open battlefield full of stormy waves and shocks at once.

The New Party tankers who bravely assaulted all the way naturally went all out, and the "clanging" automatic loader stuffed the bullet body and cartridge into the tail of the gun, accompanied by the large cloud of smoke and dust fired by the main gun, a 3BM-42 tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet threw off the butt and flew away, and the rebel tank that was only a few hundred meters away was immediately frequently shot, and a "Leopard II" traveling diagonally was directly hit the side wall of the turret, and white smoke rose with the action of the explosion suppression system. Immediately lost its combat effectiveness.

Under the bombardment of a round of shells, the rebel tank crews who rushed to the battle were not only beaten, but the nervous loader put the heavy DM53 armor-piercing bullet into the chamber, closed the latch, and fired immediately from the gun commander who captured the target with a thermal imager.

Accompanied by the current pulse of the firing mechanism, the roaring "Leopard II" tank instantly stirred up a large cloud of sand and dust in front of the vehicle, and a T-72M1 tank on the distant front was immediately shot and caught fire, and the thunderous sound of the ammunition explosion echoed over the battlefield, and the blasted turret flew into the sky at once; Witnessing this scene in the thermal imager, the rebel artillery commander was very excited, it seems that the tanks rushed up by the Iraqis are still those tattered Russian goods, although they are in a hurry, maybe they can turn the tide and annihilate all the hateful New Party forces on the outskirts of Salicia!

With the advantage of equipment, more desert camouflage-painted "Leopard II" tanks were scattered left and right on the side of the battle line, and the roar of the L44 120mm smoothbore gun came and went, and the extremely high storage speed of APFSDS cut through the armor like butter, splashing deadly high-speed fragments into the tank, and explosions and fires bloomed everywhere on the steel battlefield where the ground shook and the mountains shook.

For a while, the fighting was rising, and the imposing rebel tanks continued to charge forward while firing, as if they were about to completely crush the Iraqi offensive with a rapid counter-charge; However, just like the nature of the Liberal Party, the rebel tanks not only forgot about the crisis of fuel shortage, but also misjudged the dangerous battlefield situation, and underestimated the combat strength of the Iraqis and the courage of the New Party tank crews to fight fearlessly.

Due to the previous sneak attack in Salicia, the "Leopard II" tank battalion, which had interrupted the supply of fuel, was delayed in the city for too long, and the chaotic command system made it impossible for the tank battalion to know the battle situation, and the development of the war situation was completely blind.

At this moment, the complacent Leopard II tankers did not know that because of their delayed sortie, another armored force that was supposed to be fighting with them, including several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, had been rushed into battle from above, and was wiped out by the Iraqis on another battlefield a few kilometers away.

Even now, the Liberals, who were fighting with the armored strikers of the New Party, who were bravely rushing forward on the dusty battlefield, did not pay attention to their flanks, but focused on the targets on the frontal front and fired frequently; The understanding of tank warfare was limited to a wave of flat pushing, queuing up to fire, and the tactical and ideological negligence soon cost them dearly.

Under heavy artillery fire, while a long line of Leopard II tanks was pouring ammunition on the New Party tanks, which were fighting and retreating, Iraqi armored forces, which relied on the battlefield liaison system to maintain coordination, were attacking in a roundabout way.

Unlike the T-72M1 tanks, which were in front of the battle, the tanks that also carried searchlights kept a low profile, crossing the battle line from both flanks, and only turned on the lights together when they approached the rebel armored vehicles, and in an instant the windswept battlefield was illuminated as if it were daylight.

Seeing the clearly outlined rebel tanks in the line of sight, almost all of them were facing this side, the officer in the command vehicle shouted on the radio:

"Aim in order, pay attention to the angle of shot! - Give me a hard beating! ”

In the dark, they reached the front and launched a surprise attack from the rear of the enemy tank, and the distance between us and the enemy was only a few hundred meters, and at this distance and angle, even large-caliber grenades could inflict severe damage on the tank. In the T-72M tank with a shiny muzzle, armor-piercing shells had already been prepared in the chamber, and for a while, the sound of the 2A46 gun's "ping-pong bang" firing was almost deafening, and the rebel "Leopard II" tank under the searchlight was immediately baptized by the rain of bullets, and several tanks were suddenly shot before they could react, and then caught fire and exploded in place.

After a round of dense volleys, the "Leopard II", which was flaunting its might on the battlefield, had already lost a small half of its troops.

However, before these unlucky guys could turn around and fight desperately with the New Party tanks rushing behind, the frontal enemy, who had deliberately shown weakness, also suddenly carried out a round of artillery fire. (To be continued......)
