Think about driving wildly on a front where the two armies are facing each other heavily and the tanks are aiming at each other, which is basically telling all the weapon operators on both sides of the battle line, and all the people in the car are tired of it, aren't they?

"No, no! Gotta figure it out, second lieutenant,"

Starting from before dawn that day, he finally came all the way to Salicia, which was close to the liberated area of Iraq, of course, Long Yun didn't want to be sideways at this time, but he had to take action, "Now that the weather is so bad, the only way to deal with tanks is to fight the ground, I think it will be difficult for the new party forces to deal with these 'Hans-made', if they can't attack for a while, we will have to-"

"Well, well, that's a problem."

Hearing Mr. "Red Dragon" and quickly following the NATA pilot's train of thought, Imran Alayi also realized that the situation was not good, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face under the flickering lights.

Yes, Mr. "Red Dragon" is right, the rebel "Leopard II" tanks appeared in Salicia, this force movement under the cover of bad weather is probably not noticed by the new party - and even if it did, there is no way to send helicopter gunships or attack aircraft to destroy these tanks in the dusty weather, then the battle on the ground must be an armored confrontation, and in this regard, the T-72M/M1 tank can not expect much.

But even so, in the face of a battalion of main battle tanks, how many people can they do in this kind of thing?

The main battle tank that rumbled in, after all, is not a "Humvee" off-road vehicle like an "aluminum coffin", and it can be easily dealt with with with an RPG, it is an iron turtle with rough skin and thick flesh and invulnerability. Except for anti-tank mines, missiles or large-caliber smoothbore guns. Other weapons really can't take them in.

All right. Maybe these "Leopard II" tanks that suddenly appeared can be indifferent to the special operations team, but if it really affects the situation in Salicia, then the next situation is not easy to say.

In the dimly lit basement, listening to the rumbling cannons in the distance, the howling cold wind blew into patches of dust from time to time, and the few people sitting around the gas lamp fell silent for a while, and Long Yun, who was frowning, was naturally among them. He did feel a little irritable right now.

Isn't it, if the New Party can't attack Salicia tonight, and even if they are fighting on the front for the next few days, how can they reach the liberated areas safely? Knowing that there were so many hardships and dangers along the way, and that he was almost surrounded and wiped out by the rebels at Mayadin Airport, Long Yun couldn't help but think now that it was better to listen to the construction of the government army major in Sukhna at that time, and obediently take a truck to Homs.

Or, find a way to get an airplane from SRAF, even an old K-8 trainer can be sneaked into Iraq, as long as you have enough fuel......

――Oil?

Suddenly this string was put in my head. Long Yun suddenly realized a breakthrough in solving the problem, and he rummaged through his mind for a moment, feeling that there was some hope for success. Just ask Imran Alayi next to him:

"I said, Mr. Ensign, we didn't see the 'Leopard II' on the way here, what unit did these tanks belong to, where did they come from, do you know some of the situation?"

"Well...... I really didn't see them on the road, they were improvised and pulled, it was obvious. ”

Hearing Mr. "Red Dragon's question", although it was not clear what his plans were, the second lieutenant was not embarrassed at all when it came to the composition of the rebels, "The rebels equipped with 'Leopard II' tanks are considered the elite of these guys; as far as I know, the rebel-occupied area in the east is only on the north side of Deir ez-Zor, and there is a battalion of 'Leopard II' tanks stationed, so this time it is likely to be transferred over and prepare to defend Salicia." ”

"So, second lieutenant, since the offensive of the New Party forces has only been launched for a short time, can it be understood that these 'Leopard II' tanks were temporarily transferred from the direction of Deir Ezzor by the Liberals, and that they had just arrived in the town in a hurry?"

"Well, then, I think that's the case."

"Oh...... Okay, I see. ”

The mouth of the informant confirmed some speculations, and Long Yun already had a less mature response to the "Leopard II" tank that had just arrived in Salicia.

At that time, he didn't listen to the Major, and now although he still regrets it a little, he also thought that three government soldiers escorted him all the way to the adventure, and Salahardin was even more injured by it, so no matter how difficult the road is, for the safety of the team members, and his own safety, he can only try to fight his way out!

Now that he had an idea, without further ado, Long Yun sorted out the plan in his mind, and explained the idea to the second lieutenant and Said:

"Actually, gentlemen, my idea is very simple, that is, to find a way to replenish the fuel of the rebel tank troops."

Deciding how to act, only a few minutes later, Long Yun and others, dressed in sand-gray rebel uniforms, appeared on the streets of Salicia swept by the wind and sand, and under the leadership of NATA pilots who "knew everything like a god", they approached the temporary station of the rebel "Leopard II" tank battalion step by step.

The Liberal armoured units, which had been temporarily transferred from the north of the occupied territory, did not leave the city immediately, probably because it was dark at night, but instead gathered in the city of Salicia, which crowded the two main streets of the small town; In the light-controlled city of Salicia, there was hardly a glimmer of light, only the blackout headlights of tanks and military vehicles shone dimly in the dust storm, but this could not help but be the members of the special operations team equipped with individual infrared night vision equipment.

While cautiously moving forward with a gun, while concealing his whereabouts with the help of buildings and raging wind and sand, Long Yun, who was fully snooping, did not need to risk grabbing his "tongue" to ask for clarity, so he quickly dodged the Liberal Party military vehicles and patrols coming and going, and groped his way to the street where a "Leopard II" tank was parked.

Looking out of the window of the abandoned building, he immediately followed the bright images in the night vision devices to see several tanker trucks parked crookedly on the side of the road, dragging pipelines.

The tanker trucks transporting oil are the targets that Long Yun intends to "focus on".

After learning that the "Leopard II" tank appeared on the streets of Salicia and asked Imran Alayi, Long Yun roughly calculated an account for the Liberal rebels.

First of all, since the intelligence officers have determined that these Liberal tanks are coming from the direction of Deir ez-Zor in order to temporarily deal with a wave of offensive by the Iraqi New Party, it is natural for Long Yun to assume that these big guys equipped with 1,500 horsepower MB873Ka-501 diesel engines have no time to calmly replenish fuel on the road; With the 1,160-liter fuel tank volume of the Leopard II series and the off-road fuel consumption of more than 400 liters per 100 kilometers, it is simply impossible to say that these tanks would go into battle without refueling after arriving in Salicia after a long-distance attack.

You must know that the tank is not a civilian truck, and the normal operation of the whole vehicle's subsystems depends on the engine to provide oil pressure or electricity.

For the "Leopard II" tank in the hands of the Liberal Party, Long Yun does not think that the UAAPU (Under_Armor_Auxiliary_Power_Unit, built-in auxiliary power unit) installed on the M1 series tank, then the diesel engine must always run at low speed when it is nervous and on standby, although it is not an oil tiger like the ATG-1500 gas turbine, but it must also ensure sufficient fuel supply.

So it's clear that the "Leopard II" that has traveled long distances has now bottomed out of fuel tanks, as long as you find a way to blow up the rebels' fuel reserves.

Hehe, isn't that just the bottom of the kettle, that's what the special operations team is going to do.

Taking advantage of the night and the wind and sand to act stealthily, looking for the rebel fuel supply points on the streets of Salicia in a chaotic image, it turned out that this group of unorganized and undisciplined rabble was really not in vain, and on the streets of the light-controlled town, Long Yun and the others soon saw several snow-bright spotlights, projecting pillars of light in the dusty air; By the bright lights, the rebel soldiers were busy by the tanker, and the pungent smell of diesel fuel was sent into their nostrils by the strong wind, and it seemed that these guys really didn't take this seriously, and even refueled it very casually.

Wearing night vision goggles to approach the rebel convoy, a little blinded by the spotlights, Long Yun, the second lieutenant, and Said temporarily hid in the corner of the street, took off the night vision equipment and looked not far away.

"Since the lights are turned on, in addition to the convenience of work, I think they don't carry any night vision equipment."

"Yes; I think it's the same. ”

After watching in the dark for a while, and seeing no soldiers standing guard, Long Yun also agreed with Imran Alayi's judgment, and he quickly decided to let the second lieutenant quietly go around, find the power supply along the lines, destroy the lighting and power supply, and then take advantage of the darkness to start the operation.

As soon as Qiē was arranged, Long Yun and Said waited in ambush on the other side of the street, and within a few moments, all the spotlights illuminating the scene were extinguished.

In the darkness of the night, only the rough shouts of the rebels were heard mixed with the "sudden" operation of the oil pump, and there was a brief confusion on the scene; Seizing the opportunity to start the action, slipped all the way from the shelter on the street corner to the oil tank truck parked on the side of the street, Saeed and Long Yun stood up straight and calmly, while passing each tanker truck and sticking the adsorption bomb to the bottom of the oil tank, they also followed the shouting in a sullen voice, disturbing the atmosphere of the scene.
