On June 27, 313 in the imperial calendar, the tug-of-war between the imperial army and the coalition army has turned this prosperous city into ruins, and the two sides have invested hundreds of thousands of troops in order to compete for the city, and the guns have been constantly sounding day and night for most of the month, causing a large number of casualties among the residents of the city, and the residents who have the ability and means have tried their best to escape the city through the line of fire, while the residents who have no way to leave can only hide at home, praying for the ancestors to bless them to live to see the sun tomorrow.

A group of Imperial soldiers, armed with newly issued Stern submachine guns, hid behind two Matilda tanks, and walked cautiously among the rubble.

Ouyang Yu's Chinese Federation is connected to the Imperial Army occupation area by railway, so the delivery speed of weapons is relatively fast, the first batch of weapons has arrived a few days ago, Marshal Meng Ge immediately organized a group of soldiers to familiarize themselves with the new weapons, there are a lot of tank soldiers and artillery under his hands, and Ouyang Yu also generously secretly sent a lot of instructors to teach the soldiers of the Imperial Army how to use and maintain weapons, so in a short period of time, a large number of Imperial Army soldiers were equipped with Stern submachine guns and drove Matilda tanks.

The two Matilda tanks, Type I and Type II, with the more powerful Type II in front and only the machine gun Type I in the rear, accompanied by a company of Imperial soldiers attempting to retake the central square of the city of Marlo.

In the central square, the coalition forces arranged a company of soldiers, two T-35 tanks and two three-seven anti-tank guns, and when the Matilda II tank in front of them appeared in front of them, they were immediately attacked by the defenders, and two seven-six armor-piercing shells, two four-five armor-piercing shells and two three-seven armor-piercing shells were fired. Three shells hit the front armor of that Matilda II tank almost simultaneously. The remaining three were all missed.

"Hit the target!"

The gunners of the T-233 tank No. 35 cheered for their accurate gunsmithing.

"Reloaded!"

The loader loaded an armor-piercing projectile into the chamber as quickly as possible.

"Boom......!"

The 233 T-35 tank opened fire again. The accurate shot again allowed the armor-piercing projectile to hit the front of the turret of the Matilda II.

The first round of firing caused a lot of smoke due to the fact that some shells did not hit, so the coalition forces did not see the effect of the shelling, but the gunner and commander of the No. 233 tank clearly saw that the shells they fired were bounced off by the heavy armor of the Matilda II tank, leaving only a white mark on the armor.

The crew of the Imperial Army in the Matilda II tank felt like they were riding in a speeding car at the center of the two-wheeled shelling, and they thought they were dead when the shells hit the hull armor. But he didn't expect that after two rounds of shooting, not only were he and others still alive, but the tank was not damaged at all, which greatly boosted the morale of the crew, and they no longer cared about the T-35 tank and Sanqi anti-tank guns of the coalition army, and drove the tank out of the ruins according to the tactics taught by the instructor of the federal army, so that the thickest armored frontal face the enemy.

"Reloaded!"

"Launch!"

"Boom!"

Forty-mm armor-piercing shells easily pierced the front of the hull of the T-35 tank No. 222 and killed several of its crew members, but the T-35 tank No. 222 did not completely lose its combat effectiveness, and the main guns of the No. 76 were still firing shells after being hit. Although the shells fired by the short-barreled 76 tank guns were of little use.

"One more shot and they're finished!"

The next armor-piercing shell was stuffed into the chamber, and the gunner pressed the firing button. Forty-mm armor-piercing shells pierced the main turret of the T-222 tank No. 35 and hit the ammunition rack inside the vehicle.

"The ammo rack has been hit, and we're done!"

As soon as Commander No. 222 finished speaking, the entire T-35 tank exploded violently, blowing the multi-ton turret into the air, and none of the eleven crew members in the car survived.

Commander No. 222 sounded the words of the instructor of the Federal Army before he died, the socialist ammunition rack is easy to detonate, and you must be careful when fighting, he didn't understand what was going on before, but before he died, the commander finally understood.

"The target is destroyed and looks for the next target!"

The gunner of the Matilda II tank, under the instructions of the commander, aimed the muzzle of the Allied tank No. 233, but just as the gunner was about to activate, a super-caliber grenade fired by the 37 anti-tank gun hit the turret of the Matilda II tank, and the super-caliber grenade that could penetrate the 127 mm armor pierced through the turret armor, and the metal jet shot the hapless commander to the piercing and could not die again.

The coalition's Sanqi anti-tank guns were not equipped with super-caliber grenades before, and Ouyang Yu urgently airlifted them to the front line in order to balance the coalition forces against the tanks of the imperial army.

"Who will replace the commander who is dead?!"

Who shouted this? Is it a human or a ghost?

The death of the commander calmed down the Imperial driver in the Matilda II tank from the invincible excitement just now, and the gunner quickly fired a shell, penetrating the No. 233 T-35 main turret of the Allied forces, and the driver hurriedly reversed and drove the Matilda II tank back behind the rubble, just in time to dodge another super-caliber grenade.

After the Imperial Matilda II tank overfulfilled its task, the Imperial infantry hiding behind and the coalition infantry defending the square engaged in a fierce battle, and both sides of the battle were heavily equipped with submachine guns, with powerful firepower and dense bullets, and the Imperial army no longer had to be suppressed by the coalition forces and could not raise their heads.

The main targets of the Imperial infantry were the two 37 anti-tank guns that posed the greatest threat to tanks of the coalition forces, and as long as the two 37 anti-tank guns were killed, their two Matilda tanks could go to the battlefield again and gain the initiative in the offensive and defensive battles.

And the commander of the coalition side was not stupid, he knew the value of the two 37 anti-tank guns in his hand, so he ordered the artillerymen to drag the artillery down to the line of fire that was evacuated, as long as the artillery was still in the tank of the imperial army, they would not dare to show up, so that neither side was infantry against infantry, as for the 233 T-35 tank, this tank had already been damaged, because of the fear of the explosion of the ammunition rack, the crew inside had abandoned the car and fled.

After several hours of fierce fighting on both sides, the coalition forces successfully defended the square after paying a huge price, and the Imperial army, which had already lost more than half of its strength, could only withdraw gloomily.

But the failure of the Imperial Army's attack on the central square does not mean the defeat of other places, after equipping the weapons sold by Ouyang Yu, the Imperial Army launched counterattacks on all fronts in the city, although many counterattacks ended in failure under the air superiority of the coalition forces, but still recaptured a lot of places, and the low morale rose sharply, which was already a huge victory.
