Dominate South Asia

"Stop moving forward, retreat." Fahim shouted.

Just when the Leopard 2 tank was about to engage in battle with the T-72, it began to retreat.

Eight hundred meters is the range that the infrared headlight of the T-72 can illuminate. They had been firing at eight hundred meters just now, which was equivalent to hiding in the dark, constantly killing those who were using flashlights. It was too easy.

Now, just when the two sides were about to get close, the Leopard 2 retreated.

Although the Leopard 2 has the ability to turn centrally, the two tracks can be reversed to achieve turning in place, while the T-72 needs to continuously move forward and backward to achieve this. Even so, they did not turn, but directly engaged the reverse gear!

The Leopard 2 has an advanced power system and two reverse gears. When the reverse second gear is engaged, the throttle is at the bottom, and the tank is retreating at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

In this process, the strongest main armor still faces the most threatening place, and the tank is still firing during the retreat.

"Boom!" One after another, the armor-piercing shells tore the armor of the tanks with infrared headlights on the opposite side. The T-72 tank's split ammunition was all in the turntable position of the turret. Almost as long as it was hit, it would cause the tank to explode, causing the turret to separate from the body.

Finally, when they retreated five kilometers, those infrared headlights stopped moving forward.

The new T-72 tanks had all been destroyed there. The result of the battle was only created by a tank company of Leopard 2 tanks. The T-55 tanks following behind had no hope of winning, and they began to retreat.

Reverse, forward, reverse, forward. The T-55 needed several times to complete the turn, and during this process, the darkness caused several of their tanks to collide, making a banging sound.

And just as they began to turn and retreat, the Leopard 2 tanks advanced again.

Excellent hydropneumatic suspension allows them to walk on bumpy roads as if on flat ground. No matter how the vehicle body moves, the muzzle is still pointing at the target, and one shell after another is stuffed into the barrel. The tanks on the opposite side were destroyed one after another, and the old T-55 could not withstand the shooting of the armor-piercing shells of the 120mm smoothbore gun.

The South African armored soldiers following behind looked at the battle in front with incredible eyes. What is this? This is simply a complete defeat. Those tanks are just like paper in front of the Leopard 2.

Following behind the Leopard 2, the Horn tank. Wheeled armored vehicles and even off-road trucks rushed up one after another. The South African Army and the UNITA army followed and advanced rapidly.

Finally entered the city!

At the street entrance in the city, the Leopard 2 tank stopped, allowing the South African armored soldiers behind to advance quickly. They have completed the task.

Street fighting is different from field fighting. In street fighting, the Leopard 2 tank may be hit from the side and back. RPG-7 still has the potential to tear apart the weak armor of Leopard 2, so there is no need for them to take this risk.

The sky gradually brightened, and Major General Torian looked at the tanks that were blown up outside the field, and he was particularly excited. So many tanks were killed by a tank company!

In modern warfare, the advantage of equipment has become a major factor in determining the outcome of the war.

"Sir Fahim. Thank you very much for your help." Major General Torian said to Fahim.

"These are what we should do." Fahim said: "Now, we need to retreat and rest, and we also need to replenish ammunition and fuel."

The 1500 horsepower engine is not only powerful. Another feature is fuel saving. With the same 1500 horsepower, the island country's engine is a two-stroke engine, and its fuel consumption is more than twice that of the German one.

"Regarding street fighting, I have a suggestion for you." Fahim said: "Use your armored forces and grenades. As long as you find someone resisting, blow up the buildings together. This will minimize casualties."

No matter what civilians they are, as long as there is resistance, just blow them up together. After blowing up a few buildings, those resisting forces will know what to do.

"Thank you." Major General Torian suddenly realized that he should have done this a long time ago!

After retreating 20 kilometers, the Leopard 2 tank began to refuel. The engine of the Leopard 2 is most suitable for diesel, but when the logistics fuel is scarce, it can use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol and other fuels to minimize the need for logistics.

Fuel can be replenished with South Africans, but the consumed 120mm shells require special shells to replenish.

So, while slowly waiting for the shells, the South African army was still fighting fiercely with the ANC and the Cuban army in the city.

"Let's go." Fahim said, "According to the information we received, there is a mine a hundred kilometers away from here. Let's go and capture it. Send a message to our supply helicopter and gather there."

"Understood." The tankers responded loudly, got back on the tanks, and galloped across the field.

Mine!

The eastern region of Angola is the main source of diamonds. The main diamond producing area is in Lunda Sul Province. The Catoca project accounts for more than half of the country's diamond production. The Catoca Diamond Mine is the largest open-pit diamond mine in Angola. In addition to these, many places in Angola are illegally mined.

There is an illegally mined diamond mine near here!

The Leopard 2 tank rumbled and moved towards the Za diamond mining area. The main armed forces of South Africa were involved in the war. No one cared about them, and no one gave them orders. They were here to assist in the war.

The Leopard 2 tank was moving at the highest off-road speed. When it rushed over a dirt slope, the entire tank was about to fly in the sky. When the tank's tracks touched the ground again, the liquid-pneumatic suspension was shortened to the shortest, buffering all the forces, and the tank continued to move forward.

In this way, after nearly two hours of running, the mining area had already appeared in their sight, and at this time, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles was driving out of the mining area.

"Intercept that convoy!" Fahim shouted.

Those were ordinary trucks without off-road functions. They were moving at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers on the road. When they saw the tanks, they panicked immediately.

Some people set up machine guns on the trucks and wanted to fire at the tanks, which was purely futile. The tanks went around and surrounded them.

"Let's use machine guns to kill them and let them know how powerful we are." Fahim said.

The main weapon of the Leopard 2 tank is a 120mm 44-caliber tank gun. In addition to this, there is also a 7.62mm caliber coaxial machine gun.

When the coaxial machine gun spit out flames, the armed personnel jumped off the truck one after another and fled for their lives.

However, they could not escape. The tank's machine gun shot them mercilessly. In the end, all of them lay on the ground.

"Let's see what good things are on this truck." Fahim said.

After getting off the tank, Fahim climbed onto a car. When he opened the box on it, he revealed something shiny.

Diamonds!

This mining area must have been mined by the subordinates of the ANC. When they knew that the nearby city had been taken down, the people here began to retreat. Before retreating, they must have taken away all the mined ore, and now, all of them have been intercepted by Fahim.

"Boom, boom." There was a roar in the sky. Two MH-53 helicopters flew from a distance and found the armored forces.

In order to rescue pilots in case of being shot down, and to replenish ammunition for the tank troops, Pakistan rented two MH53 helicopters from the United States. At this time, these helicopters came in handy.

The tank shells on the helicopter were unloaded and loaded into the Leopard 2 tank, and the diamonds were transported to the helicopter and transported back to the Pakistan Air Force Base in Nolos, and then loaded on a transport plane and transported back to the country.

Pakistan sent the army to help South Africa fight. Of course, it was not friendship, but naked interests. There are many such small mines in Angola. The Pakistani army mainly searches these mines and plunders the stored ore before the South African and UNITA troops arrive and transport it back to the country!

As for whether it will be discovered by the South Africans, even if they are discovered, they should turn a blind eye. Even if they protest, the great President Muhammad is completely unaware. It is the people below who are making trouble and must be severely punished!

In history, Cubans were not clean. A Cuban major used sugarcane to exchange for diamonds, and the exchange was based on weight, one to one. As a result, the Cuban high-level officials were unhappy and he was shot by the Cuban Revolutionary Committee.

A few hours later, a unit of the MPLA arrived here. When they arrived, they saw only corpses and trucks everywhere. When they arrived at the mining area, there was nothing in the mining area.

The MPLA were all locals and knew everything here. They controlled the mine. As long as there were more laborers, they could resume mining. As for the dead outside, they did not pay much attention. Maybe they had an internal conflict when they retreated.

And such incidents are happening more and more frequently.

These little things will not be exposed to the South African high-level officials. Now, with the support of the Pakistani Air Force, the Cuban Air Force's counterattack was broken again. A-7 attack aircraft also participated in the ground attack to help them advance the attack process. With the support of Pakistan's Leopard 2 tanks, the armed forces of South Africa and the MPLA advanced to the Cuito-Luena line and occupied half of Angola.

I remember that a few months ago, they were beaten and huddled in one place. Now, South Africa and the MPLA are full of confidence in the war. (To be continued ~^~)
