When Tang Zheng saw that the armored forces of the alliance finally came out of the position, his heart finally let go.

It's not easy.

In order to lure the alliance to take the initiative, he didn't even transfer his own Apache.

Apache also has a title called Tank Killer, and its powerful mobility and Hellfire's air-to-surface missiles are a nightmare for all tanks.

If the Coalition sees Apache, I'm afraid it will really shrink down to the end.

So in order to attract the alliance, Tang Zheng asked Apache to stand still in the City of Chasing Light, and now this move is the right one.

Without Apache, Tang Zheng was also confident that he would take out the armored forces on the opposite side.

Mangye Town was three or four kilometers away from the alliance position, and between the two was originally a large area of farmland.

Of course, the current farmland is all barren grassland, and the dense weeds have grown more than a person tall, and now they are completely yellow.

When the tank troops on the alliance side had just been dispatched, Tang Zheng let his first armored battalion be dispatched.

Ten 99-A main battle tanks, twenty Type 15 light tanks, went directly to the barren grass area.

On the side of the alliance, Xie Jinshan was in a hidden high place and saw the tanks of the Light Chaser Army dispatching.

"Thirty tanks, Tang Zheng is really arrogant!"

"Take your tank troops today, and make a good show of the bird spirit that has been shelled in the past few days!"

In the view of Xie Jinshan and others, the main outcome of the tank battle depends on the number of tanks on both sides.

This time, the alliance paid the price of 50,000 people in order to build armored forces, half of which were paid for the armored forces.

Xie Jinshan waved his hand, and on the alliance side, sixty tanks were dispatched.

This tank, called Octopus SD, began at the end of the last century and is still the main light tank of the Lao Army.

The performance is good, and it is relatively durable.

This tank weighs only 18 tons, which is a typical light tank in terms of weight.

But in terms of firepower, his firepower is not weak at all, and the 125mm smoothbore gun makes his firepower comparable to that of ordinary main battle tanks.

Heavy firepower brings some and also disadvantages, and his light weight makes his protection not too high.

Weak armor is its biggest weakness, and it's basically the kind that will lie down after a shot.

However, these problems are not a problem in the eyes of Xie Jinshan and others, the two sides collide within a few kilometers, and each other is a war of attrition.

As a result of a war of attrition, the side with the most numbers wins.

The commanders of both sides were full of confidence, and the tank groups rumbled into the wasteland, launching the first official collision between the Alliance and the Light Chasers.

On the alliance side, the person who commanded the armored group to fight was a man named Sha Changhe.

This man was from the Imperial Royal Army and was a military training instructor in the Alliance.

He had been in the alliance for a long time, and was discovered by Xie Jinshan and entrusted with the important task of helping the alliance train its troops.

The original alliance troops were trained by him, although those troops never achieved any brilliant results, and even were wiped out by zombies under the city of chasing light.

But obviously, without his training, the alliance would not even have a team that can handle it, and Xie Jinshan still trusts him.

This time the Alliance armored forces went out, and he was the battlefield commander and a tank commander.

Before setting off, he devised a simple tactic.

That is, to advance in the middle, attract firepower, and then encircle and annihilate on both sides.

He divided sixty tanks into three groups, thirty in the middle and fifteen on each side.

With such an arrangement, he planned to never let any of the tanks of the Light Army escape.

The chariot rumbled into the grass, the metal tracks crushed the ground, and the tank duel between the two sides began.

Sha Changhe's tanks walked in the first echelon, and the wild grass somewhat blocked the view.

However, he is still proficient in controlling the on-board radar and keeping in touch with his subordinates at any time.

"Check the ammo!"

"Check the fire control system!"

"Watch the position of the enemy troops."

Sha Changhe kept issuing one command after another, keeping the observers and gunners nervously busy.

With the sound of rattling tracks, the two sides quickly approached.

"Chief Sha, the target is within our range."

"Adjust the angle, the target is at 11 o'clock."

The grass is shaking outside the observation scope, and the accuracy of determining the direction is not very good, and it is now very dependent on the radar field of view.

"Contact car seven on the left and let them fire first!"

Sha Changhe did not fire the first shot, this kind of frontal bombardment, the technical content is not very large, and the first fire may not have many advantages, but it is relatively easy to expose.

"Car Seven, ready to fire!"

A tank located in the left front of Sha Changhe was the first to encounter the Chasing Light Army.

Receiving Sha Changhe's order, the alliance fired the first shot of the battle.

"Boom~~!"

The 125-mm smoothbore gun opened heavy fire, and a shell flew out and exploded in the distance.

"Chief Sha, the wild grass has affected the shooting accuracy, and it didn't hit!"

"Rubbish! Watch out for enemy counterattacks. ”

The barren grass made observation very difficult, and they could only rely on radar to fight, which made the fledgling Alliance armored forces a little uncomfortable.

As soon as Sha Changhe's order was issued, the opposing tanks also opened fire.

A ball of fire exploded in front of the left, and flames and black smoke came out directly from car seven.

The turret was bombarded by the enemy, and some of it separated from the body.

This tank is scrapped!

Sha Changhe's face was grim, and he was not affected by anything, calmly commanding the No. 3 car behind him, and his own vehicle, to set fire to the vehicles of the Chasing Light Army that had been exposed.

Two tanks fired at the same time, and it is not known who it was, and one of them hit the enemy tank.

"Well done!"

Sha Changhe shook his fist fiercely, and this time he finally let out a bad breath.

He has to annihilate it ruthlessly, completely defeat the light-chasing army, and break Tang Zheng's undefeated myth, otherwise this guy will become a nightmare for the alliance.

He turned the muzzle of his gun and went looking for other enemies.

Car No. 3 continued to move forward, apparently because the hit had just given them confidence.

But before car No. 3 ran out a few dozen meters, the other party's shelling suddenly arrived again!

Rumble~~!

With the explosion, car No. 3 lay on its stomach and the entire turret was taken down.

"! The other party's tank is actually fine! ”

"We may have encountered a main battle tank, not good."

Sha Changhe drove the vehicle, ready to retreat some distance and go around in circles with the opposing tank.

However, the opposing tanks advanced at a rapid pace, and soon encountered the alliance forces.

The tentative fight just now is over, and now it's time to die.

The coalition forces have gone deep into the battlefield, and they can't retreat if they want to, and they are all within a lot of range.

At this fateful moment, an accident happened.

The radar screen was cut off suddenly, and the sound of electricity came from the walkie-talkie.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's going on? ”

"Car Six! Car No. 9! You're running so fast! ”

"Five, thirteenth, sixteenth, have your exact locations changed?"

"What about the twenty-one? Why didn't you follow me? ”

"Damn, what's going on with this signal?"

Sha Changhe's futile calls, and even slapped the walkie-talkie and radar screen with his hands, but there was no response at all.

Without radar, it will be difficult to fight in this barren grass.

And the Light Chaser Army doesn't seem to be affected by anything, and it still keeps firing guns!

Boom boom boom ~~~!

A series of explosions continued to sound, and for a time many tanks on the Union side were destroyed.

The coalition tanks wanted to counterattack, but they couldn't find the specific location of the enemy, and the failure of the radar made them blind and deaf.

They could only rely on the naked eye to observe, roughly find the location of the Light Chaser Army, and then fire back.

But the hit rate in this case can be imagined, every time after a blind fire, it will be hit hard by the Chaser Army, and the tanks will be bombarded into scrap metal.

There are constantly tanks destroyed around, and Sha Changhe is indifferent to shouting at the walkie-talkie.

At this moment, Sha Changhe realized that it was going to be over.

The radio radar was not malfunctioning, but jammed.

If this continues, it won't be long before the alliance side will be completely wiped out.

If it was only Sha Changhe himself, he might choose to turn around and run, but not now, all the tanks can't be contacted, he runs, and the other tanks have no hope of survival.

He struggled and tried hard, but many contacts were fruitless, and he also missed the short time to escape.

Rumble!

A shot came from nowhere, hitting the hull of his tank.

A violent explosion sounded in my ears, and the body of the car shook violently.

It was as if the brain had been knocked with a hammer, buzzing, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

With multiple injuries to his body, he felt like he was going to die.

But Sha Changhe was still unwilling, the team he led to meet the enemy head-on was finished, but the alliance still had outflanked tanks about to be in place.

He looked left and right, the two companions in the car and the dead, the smoke in the car was billowing and the temperature was already hot.

"I have a second plan. I'm going to have to send a signal. ”

Sha Changhe insisted on crawling out of the car and took out a flare gun.

The flare had been installed a long time ago, and this was what he had prepared for the second scheme.

I thought I wouldn't use it, but I didn't expect it to be.

That is the use of white phosphorus bombs!

This is a barren grass area, and if the white phosphorus bomb is burned, it will immediately become a sea of fire.

In the sea of fire, radar and thermal imaging will fail, and when the time comes, their own side and the side of the light-chasing army will return to the same running line.

Enduring the passage of life, Sha Changhe pulled the trigger and fired a flare.

That was his last strength, and then he lay halfway outside the car, feeling the heat getting hotter and hotter around him.

The autumn grass withered and yellowed, and soon, the duel positions of the two sides burned into a raging fire.

The tanks outflanked by the coalition were in place, they saw signal flares, and they also fired white phosphorus shells.

The grass burned rapidly, and this burning did not last long, and did not even pose any threat to the moving tank.

But this has brought a precious time to the Alliance, and Sha Changhe believes that their troops still have the strength to fight, and this is the last thing he can do for this armored unit that he has built for himself.
