Chapter 30 Spear and Shield
In the tropical rainforest on the side of the highway, groups of leopard 2A7 tanks rushed out.
There are quite a lot of such tanks in Guam. After all, the German 10th Armored Division is here. Not only that, M1 requires these tanks to use the unique anti-tank poor-axle shells of the United States. Compared with tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, this poor-axe shell can produce high-temperature chemical reactions, with strong penetration and better performance than tungsten alloy cores.
Although perhaps in the future, people in Guam will have to face the dangers caused by the use of bullets. However, now, in the face of life-and-death struggle, no one thinks about these things. With the tropical rainforest on the roadside, when it was pushed down by a row of leopard 2A7 tanks and run over into the road, the battle entered the scene of tank bayonet.The gunner of the Fusang Type 10 tank, who returned to the tank, waited for the order to operate the automatic loader and loaded the shell into the gun. They used tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells. As for the poor axle armor-piercing shells, they were still in the warehouses of the so-called Okinawa, that is, the U.S. military base established in Ryukyu, China.
For the United Nations fleet on Guam, Fuso Imperial cong did not have the opportunity to "get" more weapons and equipment there.
At this time, the distance between the two tanks is only more than 500 meters. At such a close distance, in fact, there is basically no difference between what kind of armor-piercing bullet. The tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet carrying huge energy hit the wedge-shaped armor on the Leopard 2A7 turret, making a loud collision sound.
The firelight soared on the turret of the Leopard 2A7, which made the members of the Fusang Type 10 tank feel a little uncomfortable. What is that their 120mm tail stabilized the armor-piercing tungsten alloy warhead did not be able to overturn the turret of the Leopard 2A7 tank.
Of course, the German gunner in Leopard 2A7 will not have any good results. Although the other party's armor-piercing shell did not penetrate the turret, the turret had lost the ability to rotate.
"Abandom the car, discard the car!"
Like most German soldiers, the captain is a taciturn person. In this case, it is the right choice to abandon their tanks and leave here. Because the turret cannot rotate, the tank will be a sure target that will not be moved.
On the whole battlefield, the armored vehicles of both sides fought with all weapons at a very close distance. The tank gun of the Fusang Type 10 tank and the tank gun of Leopard 2A7 spewed flames together. Unhit shells form explosive points in front of and behind the opponent's car. Like all armor-piercing bullets, it was an explosion with no firelight at all. Because there is no charge in the warhead of the shelling armor-piercing bullet.
The armor-piercing bullet hit diagonally under the ground and opened a groove on the ground. Some unlucky mecha infantry were hit by these armor-piercing warheads with huge energy. As a result, the thick armor on him and his body turned into flying fragments all over the sky.
The machine gun on the Fusang Type 96 armored vehicle sprayed fire tongues at those tanks. The members in the car do not expect what kind of damage such a cannon can cause to the Leopard 2A7. They just hope that these blows can scare the members of the Leopard 2A7 tank or break the sighting equipment on the Leopard 2A7.
Unlike the almost ineffective attack of the Fuso Type 96 armored vehicle, the driver of the Warrior I combat mecha uses the "Storm" 12.7mm mecha and the rocket launcher under the assault rifle to shoot directly at the Leopard 2A7 tank.
"Iron Fist 3-IT" is a German rocket launcher technology. It adopts the armor-breaking ability of the improved dual-energy charge combat department, which is 800 mm (with explosive reaction armor protection) and 900 mm (with explosive reaction armor protection) respectively. When launching, if you choose not to extend the probe in front of you, it will be able to use it as a high-explosive combat unit.
From this perspective, the German "Iron Fist 3-IT" system is relatively more advanced than the American-equipped M136AT4 rocket launcher. At least it will not have a tail flame and can be launched in a narrow space. Of course, the Americans don't rely much on such weapons and equipment, and the entire U.S. military is equipped with only 290,000 AT4. This is completely different from other countries that regard rocket launchers as the main anti-tank force.
Fusang people obviously don't like Russian-style weapons. Although the power of the latest Russian Van Peel RPG - Type 29 105.2mm rocket launcher is not much worse than the iron fist system, and it is much cheaper, but the Fusang people are still under the "Storm" 12.7mm mecha assault rifle. The "Iron Fist 3-IT" system was selected.
It's really interesting to use the "Iron Fist 3-IT" rocket launcher here. After all, they are facing the German Leopard 2A7. Is this Germany's own "b battle between spear and shield"?
The rocket that dragged the tail flame added a more gorgeous color to the battlefield in front of us. And the tankers of the German 10th Armored Division, almost at a glance, saw the source of the rockets flying towards their Leopard 2A7 tank.
"Iron Fist, Iron Fist..."
The first person's voice trembled, and even a series of words read out quickly, as if his tongue had trembled, as if someone had put a blender in his mouth.
The Leopard 2A7, which was hit by the Iron Fist series of rockets, was lucky. The rocket fired by the opponent's Warrior Type I combat mecha hit the main armor belt directly in front of the Leopard 2A7. This is not only the thickest armor in the tank protection, but also the Leopard 2A7+ is equipped with IBD modular additional armor here. After testing, its main armor belt will not be penetrated by the world's advanced tanks and commonly equipped armor-piercing bullets.
The hit Leopard 2A7 tank kept releasing smoke and hiding itself in front of the Warrior I combat mecha. Although it has begun mobile combat, the turret of the Leopard 2A7 with good automation quickly aimed the tank gun at the Warrior I combat mecha that had just launched the rocket.
"Damn it!"
The driver of the mecha received a warning from his mecha, which was an alarm produced by feeling the laser emitted by the laser rangefinder when it was aimed at by the other tank. The Warrior I combat mecha pilot, who scolded, immediately lowered his head and reached out to pull the ejection cord on his body.
I have to explain here that the Warrior I combat mecha is actually just a machine that enlarges manpower. That is, the driver needs to "dance" in the car to control the action of the Warrior I combat mecha, including all movements. Therefore, when ejecting, there is a very short ejection equipment time.
That is, it is necessary to form a state where the arms hold the head, the legs are slightly bent, the feet are aligned, and then be ejected like a "human stick". Then the life-saving umbrella will be opened in the air, so that the pilot of the fleeing Warrior I combat mecha can land safely.
At such a short escape equipment, the Leopard 2A7's L/55 120mm smoothb gun, which is maneuvering, has spewed a large mass of flames in the loud shooting range. Although Germany is also a defeated country in World War II, Germany's international respect is far higher than the Fusang Empire, which has always been a dog-legged American. At least Germany is as valued as France in the European Union.
And the German tank gun is undoubtedly the best in the world. Even the Yankees with the strongest technological development in the world still have to equip their main battle tanks with German-made artillery. Don't be unconvinced, this is the real strength. Compared with those SBs who can only play with their wrists, move their hearts, sleep in the oily sea and can't find the real strength of the north, I don't know how much real strength they want.
The Warrior Type I combat mecha, which was hit by tank artillery, has armor that can withstand the short-range direct fire of a 12.7mm machine gun, but it is completely vulnerable to the shells fired by the L/55 120mm smoothbore gun.
In the violent explosion, it was completely blown up, and its limbs and fragments of various equipment flew up.
However, the Fusang soldiers who had recovered from the shock of the initial attack were not moved by such an attack. After all, they are facing the attack of the world's most advanced tank, and even if a Warrior I combat mecha is destroyed, even if the pilot is killed, it is only one person lost. Compared with the Fusang Type 10 tank, which was directly driven by the Leopard 2A7 tank, and the Fusang Type 96 armored vehicle, the casualties are the least and the least.
From this perspective, Fusang people's respect for human life, at least their own human life, is much better than other countries in the East. In the East, many countries do not care much about human life. For example, in World War II, the Soviet Red Army suffered countless losses.
I'm afraid that the disintegration of the Soviet Union can also explain the truth that if a government does not take the lives of its own citizens seriously, it will inevitably be ruthlessly abandoned by history in the future. It also shows that the relationship between the country and citizens is like "falling in love" in popular terms. Don't expect someone you don't love to treat you wholeheartedly.
If we take the history of China as a reference, then in the late Song Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China, in dealing with Mengyuan, Manqing and Xiaofusang devils, a large country, a large number of people can't beat it. If history has taught anything, then this is the most bloody lesson for Chinese people.
In the immediate Battle of Guam, the Fuso people were obviously not weaker than the United Nations forces on the island except for long-range lethal weapons. Especially when the attacked soldiers meet each other, everything is more clear.
"Retreat...Retreat and reorganize...!"
The armored forces of the Fuso Empire in the bitter battle finally received an order from Lieutenant General Toshio Ikeda to retreat after losing 80% of their armored vehicles.
All the Fuso soldiers were relieved when they arrived with such an order.
