Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 767 Unexpected Defeat
Since the last World War, the U.S. military has never experienced a serious tank battle of a certain scale.None of the U.S. troops ever imagined that their enemy could come up with a weapon with a technical level not inferior to theirs, let alone one that was as good as them or better.

The tanks generally equipped by the Xinming 1st Army are 59D tanks, not the original 59 tanks.Although the 59 is imitated from the T-54/55 series of tanks, the technology is from the 20s, and the 50D is even a product of the Chinese Army's sewing and repairing in the 59s, but its technology is relatively mature, and most of it is actually the Cold War The technology of the period is just a supplementary lesson for the army of that period.

The technology of these 59Ds provided by Bai Mingxiu to the Hundred Army did not exceed the technical level of the civilized era in which his system was located, but it already had some technologies that the US military was envious of at this time.While the M48 was still using a 90mm caliber tank gun, the 59D had already used a more powerful 105mm rifled tank gun. It was also able to fire fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectiles with a penetration depth of more than 2000mm at 500 meters.At this time, the homogeneous steel armor used by the M48 was 120 mm thick. The 59D also uses explosive reactive armor to provide better protection for the tank's turret.The US military's M48 currently does not have explosive reactive armor.

In addition to artillery and protection, electromechanical is not bad. The 59D’s light spot injection fire control system adopts white light observation for the gunner-laser rangefinder-sight. The system also integrates a fire control computer and various sensors. It has a bistable artillery system. Optical night vision scope, night vision distance 1400 meters.

比M48要差一些的可能就是动力方面了，白明修这里的59D坦克马力为580匹，而M48则使用的是750匹的发动机。不过M48的吨位也更大，59D的重量几乎要比M48轻了15吨。美利坚帝国在动力系统上的浸淫很深，M48的传统系统可靠性高，坦克还能进行中央转向。

If you compare the T-55 with the M48, the actual record is that the T-55 loses more, but basically there is a win or loss. The two are considered tanks of the same level.But what is being compared now is something like the 59D, which has a metaphysical bonus. In addition to being incomparable in terms of power, the 59D is much better than the American M48 tank in terms of firepower and protection.

When the [-] Army Armored Regiment raided the commando of the [-]st Marine Division, the tanks led by Lieutenant Colonel Parker were overwhelmed and unable to resist.

The M48 and other U.S. armored vehicles continued to be named and destroyed by the 59D's 105mm rifled gun. Lieutenant Colonel Parker already understood that it would be absolutely difficult for them to move back from such a disadvantage, so he ordered his tanks to break through separately.

Then there was a scene of a 59D chasing M48 or other armored vehicles on the battlefield. The heavy rain can help the US military at this time. As long as they escape far enough, it will be difficult for the armored regiment of the Ming army to chase and find them. up.

"Why are the Ming army's tanks so powerful? Where did they get their tanks?" Lieutenant Colonel Pike was puzzled, but now he had to break through decisively, otherwise he would ruin the officers here.

The armored regiment of the Ming army was originally a surprise attack. After disrupting the U.S. military in one go, it turned to a pursuit operation. Although it destroyed more than a dozen U.S. tanks and chariots, it was still escaped by the armored troops of the U.S. Marine Division [-] that retreated separately. up.

However, Sun Chengzong and Bai Mingxiu had already expected such a situation, so they spread out their troops and ordered the troops to gather and deploy in stages to pursue and intercept the commandos of the escaping US Marine Division [-].

The U.S. Marine Division 12 did not expect that it might encounter such an enemy at all, so the preparations were quite insufficient.After Tiemaoling was defeated by the 30th Army Armored Regiment, they encountered several waves of intercepted Ming troops. After many battles, only about 80.00 tanks and more than [-] vehicles escaped from the [-]th Army's encirclement. , the total battle damage reached almost [-]%.

The Battle of Tiemaoling was a serious setback that the U.S. military rarely encountered. Even during the Great War, it was very rare for so many tanks to be destroyed in one battle, especially when the enemy suffered minimal losses.In this battle, only one of the 59D tanks of the Hundred Army was destroyed, and most of the rest were injured, and they were quickly repaired and put into use on the battlefield.

When Douglas learned about the battle of Tiemao Ridge in Seoul, he already realized that he seemed to have a certain degree of misunderstanding about the Ming army.The elite armored troops of the 9st Marine Division of the US Army were actually kicked over by the Ming army during a frontal assault, which caused the [-]th Army's operations on the Eastern Front to be greatly restricted.Taking advantage of this gap, Sun Chengzong, commander of the [-]th Army of the Ming Army, ordered his troops to continue moving forward, continuously occupying important strongholds, stabilizing the defense posture on the eastern front of the Lelang-Xinming border, and making good preparations for the next march.

Douglas still has no way of judging the true intentions of the Ming army. They sent troops to intervene in the situation on the peninsula on a large scale, or they were just a stress response to protect their own borders. However, in his heart, Douglas still refused to believe that the Ming army dared to fight against the US military.

"We need to send more planes. The reconnaissance planes need to find out how many troops the Ming army has sent and what their movements are. This will help us analyze the plans of the Ming army; we also need to bomb them and let them know with bombs. The empire is not easy to provoke!" Douglas is a soldier who stubbornly believes in the hegemony of the American empire. People like them act arbitrarily and violently, and they have no reason to speak. As long as they think it should be, they will react.

The ground troops of the front-line U.S. Army and the Three Korean Army began to shrink further, withdrawing from the area near Jiangjie and stabilizing the defense line north of Pingjing, waiting for Douglas' next order, and at the same time observing what the Ming army was doing.And a large number of Air Force fighter planes sent by Douglas also flew to the north, and they wanted to find the places lost on land in the sky.

At this time, the military circles of the American Empire have already clearly understood how important air supremacy is in a war. Both Douglas and the officers on the front line believe that as long as a large-scale air force is dispatched, the overall combat situation of the US military will be improved. A relatively large improvement, and the Ming army, which lacks air combat and air defense capabilities, will be greatly squeezed by the US military, which will also create conditions for the ground forces to counterattack.

What they didn't know was that while they were transferring the air force to carry out the mission, Bai Mingxiu had also transferred Xinming's only air force to an airport closer to the front line, and at the same time asked the No. [-] system to set up air defense for itself in the theater Radar, keep abreast of the air situation in time.
