Dominate South Asia

Chapter 277 Leopard 2's Attack

When you know the opponent's weakness, you can use your own advantages to suppress the opponent's weakness. It's so cool to fight such a battle.

The radar of the MiG-23 has no downward vision capability, so they have no way to resist when hiding at low altitude and launching medium-range missiles. Moreover, they are completely at a disadvantage in close combat.

Rick didn't do too many maneuvers at all. He just climbed and dived, which made the MiG-23 fighter, which manually adjusted the wing sweep angle in different states, in a state of chaos. Then, he easily solved the opponent with a Sidewinder missile.

In the sky, the hunting team composed of Tomcat fighters and A-7s continued to eliminate the Cuban anti-aircraft missiles on the ground and the Cuban fighters that dared to take off in the air. The sky of Angola was once again firmly in the hands of UNITA.

Along with the victory in the sky, the battle on the ground was also constantly advancing.

In Benguela, the Horn tanks of the South African army encountered the T-55 tanks of the Cuban army again.

This time, the T-55 tanks did not attack from a long distance, but hid in the bunker. When the Horn tanks approached at a distance of 800 meters, the T-55 tanks came out of the bunker and killed several Horn tanks with a precise strike.

The brave Cuban tank soldiers drove the T-55 tanks and rushed to the front line. The tank war was going on in the fields of Angola.

The engine of the T-55 tanks was emitting black smoke, and they quickly penetrated and entered the side of the Horn tank. Although they were surrounded by several Horn tanks, they did not seem to be afraid and fought back with precise shooting. When the two sides broke away, eight T-55 tanks remained on the battlefield, and more than a dozen Horn tanks were also destroyed.

When the distance between the two sides was close enough, the advantage of the Horn tanks was no longer obvious, and if they wanted to attack Benguela, they had to move forward.

"Boom, boom." When the tank troops launched a charge again, they keenly discovered that the opponent's Cuban tanks seemed to have changed their style. The front of the armor of the vehicle body. Why is there a V-shaped thing? Also, the gun barrel seems to be thicker than that of the T-55, right?

"Boom!" This time, at a distance of 1,500 meters, the muzzle of the opponent's tank gun burst into flames, and a shell flew to the opposite side with a whistle.

A Horn tank relied on its mobility to move half of the body, but. The opponent seemed to know that it was going to accelerate and aimed ahead, so. It was still hit.

The shell penetrated the armor of the Horn tank, and a fire burned on the Horn tank.

The South African armored soldiers were stunned. What kind of tank is this? What kind of artillery is this? The 100mm artillery of the Soviet T55 can't tear their armor at all!

The opponent continued to rush up, and the Horn tank could only choose to retreat temporarily.

Five kilometers away from the front line, Major General Torian, the commander of the armored division of the South African Army, frowned.

They were about to attack, even if they suffered some casualties. It is also worth it, and now, the Soviets' new tanks suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"We must call fighters to help us attack from the air." A staff officer said.

"No, our current air force is fighting with the Cuban Air Force and cannot support us for the time being. We must rely on ourselves." Torian said: "No matter how much sacrifice we make, we must attack!"

No one knows that after killing the Soviet arms ship, the Soviets became even more angry and actually used large transport aircraft. Regardless of the transportation cost, they supported a batch of anti-aircraft missiles and tanks to the Angolan battlefield.

The arrival of the T-72 tank, relying on the advantage of 125mm caliber artillery. Immediately stopped the attack of the South African Army.

"Report to the division commander, our reinforcements are here." At this time, an adjutant entered the command center and reported to the division commander.

Reinforcements? Those who should come have come, where are the reinforcements?

"They drove a new tank, the Leopard 2." The adjutant continued.

Leopard 2? Could it be that the mercenaries are coming? Torian was immediately excited: "Let's go and have a look."

Since this place has been captured, the Leopard 2 was transported by trailer. When Torian arrived at the scene, he saw the Leopard 2 tank coming down from the trailer.

Seven road wheels, huge body, and the gun barrel are so powerful. Wait, why is this turret different from what I remember? What is added to it?

Watching the tank rumble down from the trailer, Torian went up to it and looked at the person coming out of the turret.

"Welcome, my friend." Torian said.

Fahim got out of the turret and looked at everything here. In the distance, there was a rumbling sound, that is, the battle is still going on.

As the first armored brigade equipped with Leopard 2 tanks, and only equipped with a tank company in advance, the commander of the independent armored brigade, Fahim, personally led this tank company to the Angola battlefield. The performance of this tank still needs to be tested through actual combat.

At the same time, after the Leopard 2 arrived in Pakistan, it was installed with a turret shield to improve its bulletproof performance. This shield is different from the one given to Germany and is the latest composite armor from Eastern countries.

"Let's fight together to drive away the hateful Soviets." Fahim said, "What's the situation here?"

"It's very bad. We have encountered stubborn resistance from Cuban tank soldiers, and they have new tanks." Major General Torian said.

"Okay, let's eat first." Fahim said: "Rest first, and wait until night, then go into battle. I hope you are ready, we will open the way in front, and we will attack the city of Benguela tonight."

Wait until night? Major General Torian was puzzled. Moreover, the other side is so sure that they can break through the other side's defense line?

However, this tank company did come from afar, and it's time to rest.

When dusk came, the battlefield finally quieted down, and both sides stopped contact. It's time to eat and rest. This is the case in the battles these days.

After eating, Fahim and others began to prepare busily, filling the tanks with oil, checking weapons, and quietly waiting for dark.

"Buzz, buzz." The familiar sound of the engine came. Fahim looked at the South African army that had gathered behind him and said to Torian: "Follow us three kilometers away, just wait to rush into the city, and leave the road ahead to us."

Ten tanks, lined up in a horizontal row, drove forward.

The sky had already completely darkened. Fahim's eyes were fixed on the sight, and he easily observed the front with the help of infrared imaging equipment.

The fields here had long been crushed into potholes, and the excellent suspension made the tank soldiers sitting inside still very comfortable.

"Attention, the front is about to enter the war zone." Fahim shouted easily in the radio. The sound insulation performance of the Leopard 2 is very good, without the noise of the 59 tank.

In the suburbs of Benguela city, two kilometers away from the Cuban armored forces.

When the armored group advances, there will be a sound on the ground. When the Leopard 2 tank advances, the Cuban tank soldiers on the opposite side have already made preparations.

The one who greeted them in the front was their hero of the day, the T-72 tank. The infrared headlight on the top of the turret was shining forward. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, it could be clearly seen in their infrared aiming device, which was also the standard equipment for Soviet tanks at night.

Unfortunately, when they turned on the infrared headlight, the other side could not see anything.

The T-72 tank gun could reach a range of 2,000 meters when firing fin-stabilized armor-piercing shells, but the backward fire control limited the performance of this type of shells, especially in night battles, its effective sighting distance was only 800 meters.

Now, the distance between the two sides was 2,000 meters, and the T-72 tank could not see anything and could only rumble up.

And the Leopard 2 tanks on the opposite side, those tanks with infrared headlights on, were simply the best targets! Although both sides were in motion now, the command-style fire control system of the Leopard 2 tank had successfully aimed at them.

"One thousand nine hundred, one armor-piercing shell." The commander issued the order while continuing to observe with the sight, and the gunner had already begun to aim skillfully.

The loader pushed the shell into the barrel, and everything was done within two seconds.

"Boom!" With a huge roar, the tank body shook and continued to move forward. A DM13 tail-stabilized armor-piercing shell flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the target.

The commander and gunner of the T-72 tank only saw the sudden appearance of fire on the opposite side in the sights, and then it disappeared.

The opponent had already fired the shell, but we had not seen the opponent yet!

The tungsten alloy core, with a speed of nearly two thousand meters per second, pierced the main armor of the T-72, easily tearing the armor of the T-72. Countless high-speed splashing armor fragments appeared in the torn hole. At the same time, the armor-piercing shell core fragments also flew into the tank together, with high temperature, splashing everywhere, the personnel inside were killed at this moment, and the high temperature ignited the sub-packed shells.

"Boom!" With the sound of explosion, the turret of the T-72 was blown into the air.

Ten Leopard 2 tanks pushed forward while firing continuously, and the infrared headlights on the opposite side disappeared one by one.

Fire, fire! This time, the Leopard 2 tanks were mainly equipped with armor-piercing shells, which were the main type of shells they used to confront the enemy's armored soldiers.

Although the tanks on the opposite side suffered a blow, they still rushed up fearlessly, trying to win by relying on the tank sea tactics.

Each tank destroyed nearly ten Cuban tanks. At this time, the distance between the two sides was within one thousand meters, almost reaching the limit of 800 meters.

Within 800 meters, the fire control system of the T-72 tank can also aim at them. (To be continued ~^~)
