Chapter 537: Who is going to stop the old lady from landing?
The frustrated traversers drove Juncker in the PzH2000, codenamed "Iron Cross", to the right flank of the line of defense that was about to be breached by the British, and finally retreated after a volatile bombardment of Rheinmetall's 155mm 52x guns.
The strong appearance of the PzH2000 brought a very strong shock to the British, and I am afraid that in the future, most of them will not make any tanks with small water pipes like the "Matilda".
After seeing the terrifying lethality effect of the 155mm gun and the powerful psychological deterrence of soldiers, John Niu is probably going to be carried away by Maozi's tank design idea of "caliber is justice".
The British suspended their assault on the cross-line lines, but the situation for the rough embryos was still grim, and their 100-man men were confined to a position in a corner of the airfield, and the runway they had worked so hard to repair not long ago was in fact under the control of the British.
Fortunately, the runway was empty, and the British could not stay there for a long time as a target for the crossers, and they organized such a large-scale counterattack to reoccupy the airport so that their planes could cover the area, and they were also afraid that the opponent would cause damage to the runway.
While the militiamen were getting a precious respite with the PzH2000, the battle was still raging on the side of the "Arjun" main battle tank on the other side of the airport.
This is Africa, and although it is Africa during the rainy season, water is a presence that is more important to both warring sides than ammunition food.
The crowd still had at least a little water for drinking, but the British, who were lightly armed and took advantage of the night to cover the long-distance attack, did not have much water for the soldiers to drink, and some of the opium cow soldiers who were so thirsty that their throats were smoking that they had even released the water in the sleeve of the Maxim heavy machine gun to quench their thirst.
If the ensuing battle was still so fierce, even if the British soldiers did not quench their thirst with the few cooling water in the sleeves of these Maxim heavy machine guns, they would still face a situation where these machine guns would have come to a standstill because the cooling water had evaporated.
The scouts of the 101st Airborne Division, whom the Strawberry Soldiers called brainwashed, frantically drove the UTV between their own defensive positions and Arjun, delivering ammunition to the makeshift stronghold on the other side of the well and bringing back drinking water for the rough embryos to sustain their lives.
Unlike the D-day's rough embryos that were simply trained for six months, these guys who belonged to the 101st Airborne Division of Eagle Sauce in the dome light curtain had apparently been imperceptibly embraced by the creed that "paratroopers are born to be surrounded" for almost three years.
The British kept shooting at them, but they still couldn't stop them from driving back and forth in the UTV coquettish position.
Of course, the reason why "Arjun", who broke down again, has been able to hold on until now is due to the fact that the Boer named Sneijder really contributed to it.
When the British arrived, Sneijder rode out of the battlefield with his Boer cavalry teammates, as he had done last time.
However, when the Boer cavalry was regrouping somewhere not far from the airport, and Sneijder turned to the Strawberry Soldiers, who he did not understand well, for help, the phrase "the Great Song people never retreat" spread among the German-Boers.
This sentence, which now seems to be supposed to be the strawberry soldier cheering himself up, immediately scratched a string in the hearts of those hard-line Boers.
After the First Boer War, the Boers were "persuaded" by the British to leave the Cape colony with its harbor and move north to live in the Transvaal and Orange. According to the temperament of these British "gentlemen" in the past, this process of "persuasion" may have become a history of blood and tears in the hearts of many Boers.
Many years ago, his wife and family were broken up, and the Boers gritted their teeth because they couldn't beat the opium cows, and they took guns and black corn in the interior of southern Africa to open up a land that could survive.
It was only when a farmer found gold on a farm near Johannesburg that he had bought for only two cows, and the "gentlemen" began to go north again to engage in armed friction with them.
Are we going to retreat this time and give up the land on which we live? Do we have to go through the painful migration of the old and the young again? It's just that the farther you go into the interior of Africa, the worse the living environment becomes, and their total population is only in the early 300,000s, and they are afraid that they will come to the brink of extinction.
Perhaps those Great Song people who were expelled from their homeland by the Mongols were able to compete with the British Empire because they adhered to the ancestral motto of their ancestors "the Great Song never retreated".
Those Boers who had made up the history of the revival of the "Great Song Empire" in their own brains, broke away from the main force that was retreating, and returned to the airport to steel with the strong men in their minds, the Great Song people, and those British who claimed to be gentlemen.
Of course, you can't expect these determined Boers to perform the crude maneuvers of the 101st Airborne Division, and the Boers would dare to ride through the runway, which was still in the thick of the fire, to support the defense line that the crowd had built on the other side of the airfield.
But these Boers, who had been in the wilderness for many years, knew better than anyone else the importance of water in this area, so these Boer hardliners relied on the anchored Arjun main battle tanks to engage the British, thus allowing the Arjun to escape the tragic fate of self-destruction.
Generally speaking, the entire battlefield of this exchange of fire was in a relatively open environment, especially at the end of the airfield where there was a well, and there was basically no terrain and vegetation that blocked the view.
Therefore, if the British wanted to push those erection infantry guns that could only cut through the patent leather of the "Arjun" to attack the stronghold of the well, it was simply a farce waiting to be named by the 120 mm rifled tank gun.
Although the fire control observation and sighting system of "Arjun" has an extremely unstable multinational bloodline, you can't stand the British pushing the cannon and running fast, those two rough embryos of the third brother who escaped from the British Navy's mortar cannon, at this time they can't take crazy revenge!
After another long time, the British finally rested, and at this time they found that the militia were adding water to the sleeve of the captured Makqin, and finally understood why the Makqin, who was originally very fierce, was dumbfounded, and the dogs ran out of water!
"We have defended the wells, I'm afraid the British won't hold out for long!" Jiang Yuan reported to Lu Xiangyang on the radio.
"Yo, I'm afraid our gas tank won't last long!" The captain of the C-17, who was listening, interjected.
"Are you sure you will create the conditions for us to land?" Lu Xiangyang asked Jiang Yuan.
Regarding Lu Xiangyang's question, those rough embryos of the 101st Division would only shout: "Yes, sir!" But Jiang Yuan, who knew everything about the materials in his hands, was not so optimistic.
If they had brought enough ammunition from the Syrian scene, did you really think they would be happy to tinker with the old Makqin that would tear off their fingers if they were not careful?
Lack of manpower, lack of heavy weapons suitable for the current combat environment, and lack of ammunition are all unfavorable factors affecting the expulsion of the British troops from the airport.
However, Jin Wen dared to shout loudly, "Yes, sir!" "It's not without reliance, PzH2000 is probably comparable to Ferdinand in World War II for the British, even if it is limited by the firing angle is not as good as the main battle tank, but the girl looks scary!
Just when Jiang Yuan and Jin Wen were discussing the adventure plan to use the PzH2000 to take the lead, the British, who were also in the realm of letting it go, took the lead first.
This time, the monkey version of the "Vickers" with the 37mm rapid-fire cannon of the Opium Ox also arrived at the airport, and the armored units reinforced by the British army did not bring much water to use, but these iron guys increased their water burden.
In a hurry to take the well stronghold occupied by "Arjun", the British quickly organized their monkey version of "Vickers" to launch a charge against the main battle tank that the third brother had been unable to produce for nearly half a century.
"Shit! find a way to stop the British tractors from entering the runway!" Hu Kaili was the first to discover the tank formations of the British.
"Arjun" is not in a hurry, it is not the existence of these monkey versions of "Vickers" that can move, but there is still the crown of the world's most expensive main battle tank on the brain, isn't it?
It's just that once "Arjun" smashed these tractors on their way across the runway, even if the C-17 wanted to land under the fire of the British, it would be intentional and powerless.
"Damn, if these rags become roadblocks, our plane won't be able to land!" Yang Hao shouted in the communication channel.
"Who wants to be a barricade to stop the old lady from landing?" Suddenly, someone cut into their communication channel.
"Who are you?" Yang Hao asked, this is a battlefield channel that C-17 radio station has not joined, is there a plane to land at this airport in a state of firefight in addition to the "global overlord"?
